You won't be surprised to learn that not all E errors for the Xbox 360 are created equal. There are several which give similar messages, or a referring to similar problem, but it is important that you understand which is which and can tell them apart.

When your system is rebooted, you will receive a red light, and an E letter on screen, followed by some numbers. It is the numbers that help you tell the problems apart.

So, for example if you receive either an E64, E65 or a E66 error codes, you are being told that you have an issue with your DVD drive. It is not uncommon for this to be a problem with overheating. If that is the case, it pays to let your console cool down naturally, ensure it is being used in a cool place, and nowhere near direct heat of any kind, including sunlight, and has adequate ventilation. Once you have checked all these, and allowed your Xbox 360 to cool down, try restarting your system.

E67, E68 or E69 error codes mean that there is a problem with your hard drive. It is always worth checking for overheating as outlined above, but since the hard drive is used to store data, it might be worth removing the hard drive temporarily, and seeing if the Xbox will start without it. One remedy for hard drive problems is to format it, much as you would do with a PC, but be warned, everything on the drive will be lost. Follow the instructions in your Xbox 360 documentation to do this if you feel it is appropriate.

An E73 error code is telling you that you have a general hardware fault, which is a little harder to diagnose. It could be a network problem for example. Try removing the cable and reconnecting it. Also, check again for overheating.
