    USB boot-up issue

    Because the USB spec calls for a max current draw from any one device, a sense device is utilized to indicate an over draw condition. You'll either have a shorted power bus, or the sensing device is kaput.

    All I see is the source code...

    your server must be told what folders you are running your cgi based code out of , and of course you must call you code from within that folder.

    Remove line in flat data file?

    if a newline (\n) came in on $form{'link'}, you've chomped it off in 'chomp $oldstring;' , so it's not there to be substituted in 's/$oldstring//ig;' would foreach $line (@txt){ if ($line =~ /$oldstring/i){ $line = ''; } } work?

    Can you reload an Included page within a page

    Can I reload/refresh the Include page using JS without losing the text box entries on the parent page? Rather than an include, you could do a javascript HttpRequest to gather whatever info you need. You then repeat the HttpRequest on your event handler, to refresh the content.

    Password File Access On Server Side

    checking pass/user on client side is 'no security'. You'll absolutely want to validate your user/pass on server side. Setting your chmod on your files will secure them.

    Post results on multi pages

    absolutely, utilize a count variable in your for loop. Initialize the variable from a form input, why not?.

    Maxtor, no wake

    Thought I got a good deal, now I'm not so happy. My Maxtor Diamond 40g goes to sleep, and occasionally won't wake up. Of course when I run a disk access function everyhing hangs waiting for the drive which sometimes does, sometimes doesn't. Any thoughts?.

    PC not detecting new 160 Gig hard drive.

    wouldn't it help to run the drives manufacturer's setup disk against it. It may well have partioning info beyond the capability of your current BIOS. Repartitioning and maintaining the boot sector below 1K could make the difference.

    E Mail in script

    actually, I'll change that to adding the '\n' to every line, and a double '\n\n' before content.
