I configured and put Xbox game files on flash drive and now they wont show up!?

Asked: I configured and put Xbox game files on flash drive and now they wont show up!?

Yesterday I bought a 8gb PNY black ops 2 flash drive to add storage to my 360, and I put 7 gb worth of game data on it last nightand everything seemed fine. Now tonight, I was looking at my storage on my xbox and the USB shows up as an unconfigured USB. Im freaking out because I did not remove the USB or do anything with the files, and they are nowhere to be found. THE GOOD NEWS: I downloaded a trial version of a data recovery software and it did find the files, but every program I've tried so far wants me to buy the full version (like 90 dollars) to restore the files. Does anyone know a solution or a truly free data recovery software for mac? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have lost 4 day's worth or COD2 progress, and I cannot afford to pay $90 to fix it. THANKS!!!!!

Does the wireless Xbox 360 controller work with a PC?

Asked: Does the wireless Xbox 360 controller work with a PC?

So I have a wireless controller for Xbox 360, and I have a few PC games that I want to play, but I don't like using a keyboard, and mouse to play most games. Anyway I noticed the charger for the control has a USB wire. So would I be able to plug the USB into my PC, and play PC games? And if so how?

USB Fighting stick acting strange?

Asked: USB Fighting stick acting strange?

I was playing Blazblue on the PC, and enjoying it thoroughly until my fighting stick started acting up. It wasnt like this before. When I just got the game, no problems arose. The fighting stick isnt the problem, it works perfectly on the PS3. I originally thought my game got buggy or something, but the same problems appeared in other games. It isnt control configuration either, both Xpadder or the default control config dont work.To be specific, the problem is that it keeps going crazy with inputs, and enters in commands that I have not entered myself. It keeps doing things on its own without me even touching anything. If it helps, know that it works on someone else's PC. It might be a hardware problem with the USB ports, or something with the PC settings/software. I dunno.

MotionJoy not working?

Asked: MotionJoy not working?

I installed a program called motionjoy on my computer, and it's used to connect console controllers to your PC so you can use your controller to play games and whatnot. I installed it fine and did everything right (I was watching a YT video on how to install it), but after I had enabled it under the Xbox 360 simulator, nothing happened. I tried using every button on my PS3 controller, but nothing responded. So I tried switching back to the default PS3 setting, but still nothing. I figured the calibration might be messed up, but when I tried to calibrate it, all the controls worked fine. I'm not sure what's going on. My conclusion had been that because I am using a laptop, the touchscreen mouse controls were overriding the PS3 controller, but I later found that it is still possible to use montionjoy on a laptop. So I tried pretty much everything, I restarted my computer a bunch of times, I tried fussing around with the USB cable and bluetooth settings, but it still isn't registering.
P.S. The loading on my controller went fine, when I click the vibrate option, it vibrates, so it's connected fine.
