I'm sorry to hear of your problems. I had problems too (died during
upgrade of libc6) that forced a re-install.
Download the installation manual for your arch or read it online. Read
it through once. The section on obtaining media will give you the
appropriate links.
For hard disk install, you'll want the hd-media kernel and initrd and
the netinst.iso. You can either place them on an existing hard drive or
make a USB stick (instructions in the manual).
Good luck.
Doug.
