Why is recommended not to remove the usb device directly?
If the computer is writing to the USB drive at the moment when you disconnect the device, then you could have, for example, a file on the drive with a beginning and no end. Also, if the computer is dependent on things that are stored on the USB drive, then it needs to know before these files disappear. Before you remove a USB drive, the operating system needs to check with all of the running applications to make sure that it is OK. -DJ Craig

The question which u asked , has a simple answer which is impossible to believe. A computer cannot do anything of its own until and unless a user gives a request and a necessary software or firmware is installed . Imagine a computer with no operating system........... Huh.. just a muck right??
So once more i am remembring you that a computer has 0(zero) I.Q as it doesnot have the ability to think ; it just does its job based on some pre-defined algorithm or steps as defined by the manufacturer or a specific software.

How do I get an xbox one liquidmetal controller to work on PC?
[This is the original poster, NOT an answer!]
...It didn't let me categorize this. Someone put it in the categories it belongs in. Anyway, the thing doesn't seem to want to work. It doesn't have a driver, and it's a waste of money if I can't get it to work. No, it's not modded. No, I don't intend to mod it. No, I don't even know HOW to mod it. I got it for Christmas as a replacement for my xbox 360 Afterglow controller which stopped working after I reformatted my PC earlier this year. Now, if anyone can provide drivers for either of these controllers, or an answer on how to get either to work, I'd appreciate it. And please, don't exclude answers because they are too technical or you think I might not know how to do what your answer is. I'm not an imbecile. If I don't know how to do what you suggest, I'll either ask how, or I'll google it myself.
[Also, sorry about the weird business with my username. Apparently it doesn't like Japanese.]
