1HGEJ8 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I stored my xbox in a closet for several months and when I tried to play it again it first showed me error code 08, then I opened it up and moved a few things around and when I tried it again it showed up as error code 12. It seems to switch back and forth from one to the other, I’m not sure if it’s the disc drive that’s bad, the hdd or the cable that connects to both. It worked fine before. I can hear the disc drive read discs when I put one in and the hdd working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Error 8 is Hard drive and error 12 is DVD drive. I would be replacing the IDE cable or at least check it's plugged on the main board properly. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 SATA or IDE HDD? If SATA could be the adapter if its not the IDE cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
