I need to make a contact form on a website that will send comments to an email. I have designed the html file but i'm not sure where to beggin with adding the file or code that will support this function. So far i have learnt that it can be done by php file or some code on the web page, but i'm not quiet certain yet on how to do it. Any clear tutorials will be appreciated or just some guideline

This is my html form

<form action="#" method="post">
          <div class="form_settings">
            <p><span>Name</span><input class="contact" type="text" name="your_name" value="" /></p>
            <p><span>Email Address</span><input class="contact" type="text" name="your_email" value="" /></p>
            <p><span>Message</span><textarea class="contact textarea" rows="8" cols="50" name="your_enquiry"></textarea></p>
            <p style="padding-top: 15px"><span>&nbsp;</span><input class="submit" type="submit" name="contact_submitted" value="submit" /></p>
          </div>
 </form>

Ok i finaly admit. Its the HDD itself, i just bought a new HDD and its working absolutely fine. The old hard drive is working well on my desktop and its close to a week it has'nt given problem. Big question is whats wrong with that HDD when i use it to that laptop.
But then thanks for your input.

If you read on paragraph 2, i mention about putting the HDD to a desktop where it worked perfectly. what i haven't tried is using another laptop HDD to the laptop.
But thanks for the input.

Hi Fellows.

I have a confusing problem of Samsung laptop which uses Toshiba MK2555GSX internal hard drive. I have encountered a problem when i tried to start the machine and it respond with a message "cannot find hard-disk, press ctrl,Alt & delete to restart". i thought it could probably be MBR corrupted. I tried to re-install windows (windows 7, starter) using recovery disk, it does pick up that there is a hard drive furthermore it can install the operating system but problem is, when its the turn for the machine to restart as it approach the end of windows installation process, it cannot boot from the hard drive as to continue finish the installation. Therefore it restarts the windows installation from scratch. it does this over and over.
But confusing part is, when i take out the hard drive and put it on the desktop and set it to be primary disk, it does continue from the last stage where it stopped with the installation of windows. Furthermore it operates very well on the desktop as like the installation was begun on the desktop.
Kindly advise what i should be looking at the problem and what further steps i can take.

Your input will be highly appreciated.

Hi guys
I'm using asp membership for user authentication and it works perfect. I want to store username into cookies once the user logs in, i tried to implement cookies behind the login control so that when the user logs in the username can be stored into cookies.
Once i implement the cookies behind the login control, the application cant log in anymore, it prompts log in fail message. I just need help on how can i implement this cookies in such a way the log in process cannot be affected.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Guys

I'm using asp membership authentication, few days i created it it was working fine, lately i cannot log in anymore i recieve the invalid password error even if the password is correct. But other operations work's fine like creating new user and password recovery. Nothing is a problem on the database i check columns no account IsLockedOut then true.

  </connectionStrings>
<authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="~/Login.aspx">
        <credentials passwordFormat="Clear" />
      </forms>
    </authentication>
<membership defaultProvider="Provider1">
      <providers>
        <add connectionStringName="connString1" applicationName="Application1"
        minRequiredPasswordLength="5" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" name="Provider1" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" />
