i replyed to your PM . also its a very simple procedure. find a donor car to jump from preferably a car with a bigger battery so that you dont blow something in his car etc etc etc.
now hook the postive then the negative to the donor cars battery. *caution- dont touch the leads after hooking battery.. also dont ground the postive side.
next expose your battery and hook the positive and then negative to your battery. make sure that on both cars the clamps are on tight and snug.
next jump in your car and have someone in the other car reving the engine a little. turn the key like you are gonna start the car and then take the jumper cables off from both cars.
run your car at idle for about 2 or 3 minutes then go for a drive , i say drive for about 15 minutes to half an hour to give the alternator time to recharge the battery somewhat. also its kinda common sense but turn the radio and all other excessive power sources off during this whole operation.
later that day go and try to start the car again. if it fails to then i think you have to replace your batter or refill it with water. check FAQ on that procedure.
if at any time the car dies while driving it. i think you could have an alternator problem.
