Really basic Install help needed, please.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, I've searched this whole forum and probably don't know enough to ask the right "search" questions because I haven't found the answers.
Over the past few months, I've been learning Linux as I now plan to switch from Windows to a Linux distro rather than go with a new computer and Windows 7 and the associated problems.  I have tried several Linux distros individaully side by side with  Windows XP on a partitioned drive.. Most recently I've been using Linux Mint 8 'Helena' and done lots with and to it.  Linux Mint 9 'Isadora' was just released, and since upgrading for a non-rolling distro is a nuisance, I thought I'd try a rolling one. After review and recommendations, I thought I'd give Arch Linux a try. Since most of my computer use is music via a Jukebox (14+k files), browsing, email and info seeking, I don't need all the bells and whistles whith which many distros come. I'm not a gamer.
Basic Infor:
PC with 1.4GHz Athlon,  512 Ram, 320 G Hard Drive partitioned equally between Windows XP and Linux (hopefully Arch). High Speed DSL.
What I need are some really really basic instructions on a side by side install of Arch.
SOofar, I've got the clock set, and have partitioned my hard drive into
SDA 1 (my Windows Partition)(160 Gigs
SDA5                                               1200mb for my swap
SDA6                                                20 Gigs for the root
SDA7                                               130 (the rest) Gigs for home
What I need to know is darned near everything else.
Bootability for SDA5-7
How to label (the method for) SDA 5-7
and thereafter a step by step really simple set of install instructions for a side by side installation.
I've searched on this forum as well as via Google, but simple  instructions are nowhere to be found. I really have had no trouble installing Mepis, Madriva, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint side by side with my Windows Xp partition and done so for at least 2 of them with manual partitioning rather than the automatic side by side install offered.
With this introduction, can someone point me to a Arch Linux side by side install for Dummies or help me with a walk through??
Or am I in completely over my head and need to just go back to Linux Mint and plan to upgrade every 6-18 months? Or try a different rolling Distro???
Thanks in advance to any and all who can help..

Willie,
Were I certain I would be happy with Arch, there would be no problem doing as you suggest. However, looking backover at least 2 decades, our first computer was an IBM with an 8086 chip and 20 whole MB of hard drive. The choice of operating systems was DOS. As we moved onwards and upwards, Windows 95, 98, and XP were Hobson's choice for PC users (our office computer used Unix). Now with more experience and research, a new world of operating systems is available, especially for those of us with older computers which would require major (and expensive) upgrades when possible to move to Windows 7. And as with Windows ME, 2000, and Vista, there is probably potential for significant problems with 7. Utilizing my current ability to have 2 (or more) OS's on my computer affords the opportunity to learn more about them and develop my 'geekiness" as well as to evaluate and selectively choose one which will best meet my needs.
As of now, I have at least 3 problems with abandoing Windows XP completely:
1) I haven't found a Jukebox program for Linux equivalent to J Rivers' Media Jukebox which has seamless track switching, an equalizer, and DSP studio effects,etc. I've used WINE doors and made it run on Linux Mint, but the program will not recognize my CD-ROM drives. I have some 14+k music files and my computer jukebox runs through my home sound system.
2) I've some 600+ movies indexed on Movie Organizer (movieorganizer.org) which flat out won't run on the Linux distro's I've tried. Re-entering those 600+ indexed movies to another program will be a bear. So far, no one of my local sources or on the other various Linux forums has a solution. WINE doors won't do it as it needs MDAC. 
3) For all its frailties and faults, I'm reasonably literate with Windows XP. Linux OS's are still, quite obviously, relatively unfamiliar to me (3 mos experience).. So until I'm much more conversant with Linux, better the devil I know.
I have installed and used both the Linux Mint 8 Fluxbox and KDE editions on more than one computer so it's not a question of my being shy. BTW, I'm a retired internist, and our speciality is known for being really nitpicky, detail oriented, and investigational, and I'm sure it shows.
Again, thanks to all for the suggestions and comments. I'll keep in touch.

  • Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

    Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

    Have you guys been able to activate your iphone yet? I bought an iphone 4s from eBay and it worked fine, but the previous user had left some data on it, so last night I used the "erased all content and settings" to restore it to factory setting so I can start fresh and restore my backup. But now I'm stuck at the activation screen (I get the same "the activation server is temporarily unavailable")  and can't get it to activate, even if I use my old deactivated AT&T sim card (I'm on straighttalk now).
    I might try activating it with an active AT&T sim card from my fiancee's phone when she gets home, so I'll let you know how that works outs.
    If it's true that the server is down; anyone know when it will be back up again? Thanks in advance.

  • WRT54G install HELP needed

    I bought the WRT54G so I could go wireless in the house. I run the CD and it goes "do you want to replace your existing router or keep it?" Near as I know I DON'T HAVE ONE but that isn't an option, so which do I pick? There should be a "do you simply have a modem plugged into your PC and bought this go to wireless?" type option (something I'm betting is extremely common). Also, once you select one, you cannot go back and change your mind...you have to exit the program and start over. Which of these cryptic options do I choose??  
    (Mod note: Edited post for guideline compliance. Thanks!)

    Disregard - got help from an online tech spt.
    FWIW that install CD needs work, as it was detecting a router that doesn't exist and the tech spt explained that sometimes it is known not to work properly.
    PS:  in the interests of hopefully saving someone else the time and hassle I went thru, here are the steps I was given which worked fine:
    1. Connect the PC to the port one of the router then restart it. (This PC should be the one that can get online if directly connected to the modem).
    2. Go to your desktop and double click on Internet Explorer or any browser(Located on the Start Menu in Windows XP).
    3. When the browser opens, type http://192.168.1.1 on the Address bar and click on Go or press the Enter key. The log-in window will appear.
    4. Skip User Name and type admin on the Password field, and click OK.
    5. Configure the wireless settings. Click on the Wireless tab and have these:
    Wireless Configuration: Manual
    Wireless Network Mode: Mixed
    Wireless Network Name (SSID): Bill/Anything that you would want to name your network.
    Wireless Channel: 1
    Wireless SSID Broadcast: Enable
    Save the settings.
    6. To secure your wireless network, Please click on the Wireless security sub-tab that is still under the Wireless tab and change the Security mode to WEP and have these:
    Default Transmit Key: 1
    WEP Encryption: 64 bits 10 hex digits
    Skip the Passphrase field. Do not click on the "Generate" button.
    Enter any 10-digit value in the Key 1 box. (You may use all numbers but you can only use letters A to F. No dashes or slashes and special characters). This will be your WEP key (MINE: ssn123123)
    Leave Key boxes 2-4 blank or empty.
    Save the settings.
    7. Click on the Setup tab, then click on the MAC Address Clone sub tab, enable it and click on "Clone your PC's MAC" then save the settings.
    8. On the Setup Tab --> Basic Setup sub-tab, look for the LAN IP which is 192.168.1.1.
    9. Change the IP address to 10.10.10.1 then save the settings.
    10. Connect the modem to the router's Internet port and wired PCs to the router's numbered ports.
    11. Power cycle. To do a power cycle, please power off the computer, the router and then the modem. After 2 minutes, power on the modem, the router and then, lastly, the computers. Wait for the lights to stabilize before plugging the next device.

  • New Hard drive, can't access certain aspects. Help needed please

    Hi everyone.
    I have an HP Pavilion dv6-6052ea laptop.
    I've been having problems with the hard drive so got a new one installed.
    My main issues are since getting it back, I can't access any of the original HP installations etc (I've downloaded all the drivers I know about through HP).
    The 2 main things I'm missing are 2 things that came with the laptop.
    1: Beats Audio sound system 
    2: Video Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6490M (1 GB DDR5)
    and I have no idea how to get them back. Can anyone help. Do I need to install specific drivers? I can't find any trace that they exist on my laptop now apart from the stickers on the laptop! Any help is greatly appreciated. 
    I never had any CD back ups for the laptop. I do have the old HP back up etc saved on a USB but I don't know enough about the folders and files to know what I need to look for. (I still have the old hardrive.)
    Again, any help is massively appreciated. Thank you!
    Tony 

    If you used your HP Recovery Media, all factory install drivers and software would have been installed. If you didn't create your HP Recovery Media when you first setup your computer, please contact official HP support in your region / country, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to see if HP Recovery Media is available for your computer.
    If a generic Windows 7 installation disc was used, you will need to install all HP specific driver for your computer. Please try IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver, Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver, and AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver to resolve your missing drivers issues. Windows 7 64-bit driver for your computer can be found on the HP Pavilion dv6-6052ea Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Event Handling Help needed please.

    Hi,
    I am writing a program to simulate a supermarket checkout. I have done the GUI and now i am trying to do the event handling. I have come up against a problem.
    I have a JCombobox called prodList and i have added an string array to it called prods . I have also created 2 more arrays with numbers in them.
    I want to write the code for if an item is selected from the combo box that the name from the array is shown in a textfield tf1, and also the price and stock no which correspond to the seclected item (both initialised in the other arrays) are also added to the textfield tf1.
    I have started writng the code but i am really stuck. Could someone please help me with this please. The code i have done so far is as follows(just the event handling code shown)
              public void ItemStateChange(ItemEvent ie){
              if(ie.getItemSelected()== prodList)
                   changeOutput();
              public void changeOutput()
                   if(ItemSelected ==0)
                        tf1.setText("You have selected" +a +b +c);
         }

    Do you say this because i missed the d of ItemStateChanged ?
    I have amended that but still i am getting the same errors class or enum expected. 4 of them relating to the itemStateChanged method.
    i will post my whole code if it helps

  • HELP NEEDED PLEASE

    Hi everyone
    Programming help needed here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
    I have been assigned some work for a program called Processing 1.0 availale at http://processing.org/download
    I was give the 9 individual programs I needed to make however they were converted to Java files from .pde files. The program is based on Java but only runs .pde files and NOTHING else!
    I decompiled the files and got the source code, but it is a slight variation of the original someone made in processing, and needs some tidying to get it to run.
    I think the programs are very simple for a programmer, although I AM NOT.
    CODE is BELOW

    HELP NEEDED PLEASEShouting is a good way ensure you don't get help. Also you should give a meaningful subject.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!I suggest you ask a question after providing enough information to be able to answer it.
    Also use CODE tags when posting code as it make the code more readable.
    We are more likely to help people who are trying to learn Java rather than someone who might be looking for an easy way out of doing an assignment.

  • MP3 burning help needed please

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help me please.
    I'm wanting to burn a mp3 cd but with the songs in separate folders so that when i play them in my car i can flick between the albums instead of having to go through all the singles one after another.
    Does anyone know of a good mp3 burner that can do this, and where to get it from too.
    All and any help in this matter is greatly appreciated
    Cheers
    Paul

    You want them in separate Album folders?
    Put the songs into the playlist.
    Sort the playlist by Album then burn it as MP3* disc.
    This will put the songs into Album folders.
    Likewise, if you sort by Artist, songs will be put into Artist/Album/ folders.
    * Note that only MP3 files will be burned to the disc. If the files are not already MP3 format, they will be skipped.
    If you burn it as a DataCD, it wil work the same except it will copy the files regardless of format. I do this as my CD player will work with both AAC & MP3 formats.

    I have installed Acrobat Reader X.
    When i try to open files I get a problem saying Microsoft and Adobe have encountered a problem and need to close.
    I get an option to Debug, Send error report or Dont send.
    The information which comes up when I look for more information is the following::

    It was previously working then the next time I came to use it I got this.
    Desparately need help

    1. camera loading - have you tried updating or reinstalling your firmware?
    2. keyboard - define strange
    3. slow - how much is phone memory and what apps are running in background (see taskmanager, hold menu key until it shows)? turn off theme animations. it helps.
    4.  handwriting - have you set the handwriting recognition to recognize your particular penmanship? Go to menu>settings>phone>touch input. Set writing speed to very fast, calibrate your screen and take handwriting training so the phone will recognize your handwriting.
    5. qwerty - what things? how so? have you set it to qwerty?
    6. cannot scroll in file manager - its not a problem. Thats normal for the OS. Use Nokia Photobrowser or the Gallery for viewing pictures. File manager is for managing files, not viewing them.
    7.  Motion sensors - read #3
    8. Phone feels hot - how hot? Batteries heat up when charged. Its normal. However it depends on how hot exactly.
    9. Depends maybe on how long the video is. My 5800 feels hot when watching an entire movie. Also this would be reflected on #3 as well, as the phone may be working overtime.
    10.  Music when unplug headset - Its normal for almost all Nokia phones (heck even some other brands this is normal), try to use an alternative player if you like
    11. Back cover -  Its the design
    12. Yotube - use youtube app
    13. Use Nokia Photo Browser download from ovi store. It shows pics only and looks real cool. Anyway, you can put all your videos in the gallery into a virtual folder so that it is separate. Its the way the gallery is designed, to show both pics and video. As you can see, it is written Images and Videos, so they're supposed to be together in there.
    14. Adobe still hasnt caughtup its mobile solutions for its PC solutions. Its their fault not Nokia's or anyone else's.
    15. Depends on extension. Built in office reader only reads .doc, not .docx.

    for example when i hit 1(Category full) and 1(current member)..it displays this:
    Are you a Current Member (press 1) or a New Member (press 2): 1
    CURRENT FULL MEMBERSHIP SELECTED
    Current full membership fees yearly are 800
    Full members must also pre-pay 150 on a card can be used in the club facilities such as bar and shop
    The total of this membership is: 800
    The total number of 'CURRENT FULL MEMBERSHIPS = 1
    The total amount of income for 'FULL MEMBERSHIPS' within the club = 800
    The total of this membership is: 175
    The total number of 'UNDER 18 MEMBERSHIPS' within the club = 1
    The total amount of income for 'UNDER 18 MEMBERSHIPS' within the club = 175
    Please Press '0' to add another member or any other key to exit.:
    under 18 membership as well?...does this for other selections too...is it my arithmetic operators?....my if loops?...

  • Help need please! iTunes update won't install on Vista

    Everytime I try to update or reinstall iTunes when Vista restarts it goes into safe mode then "repair". The only way I can then recover my PC is to roll back to an older instance of Vista without iTunes installed. I have repeated this process several times without success.
    One hint maybe is that before updating iTunes I got this message: The file "itune library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes".

I decided to back up to an external HD.When backing up I was surprised to see 9.4GB in the catagory named 'Other'. Ive probably got too much junk stored here (unless it could be imovie files?). If I could see what was in 'Other', and delete what I dont need, this may be the answer to freeing up more space. The next big file I have is under 'Pictures' which is 1.7GB.
