Assuming you are already in standard tuning and in tune.
First Tune your A string to the 4th fret of your low E.
Tune the D,G,B,highE the same as in standard ie..
5th fret A for D string.
5th fret D for G string.
4th fret G for B string.
5th fret B for the high E string.
Finally go back to the low E string and tune it so when the Low E fretted on the 7th fret matches the A string.
The easier way is use a chromatic tuner :D

................the instruction booklet of a chromatic tuner, maybe. :lol: :lol:

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

I just use my tuner. I have an Intellitouch, so I have to tune the low E as C#.

so it should be C# - G# - C# - F# - A# - D#

I think that's correct. If you have regular guitar tuner that does flats, like my Korg tuner ($15, cheap thing, works great), then press the flat button THREE times for the low E, and ONCE for the other strings...

Watch out using that tuning though. If your guitar isnt properly set up you'll get MAD buzz. I had that issue. I use that tuning for my version of Godsmack's Serenity, and if I play it on my Fender it buzzes like a 20 pound bee...or a fridge, if you're a radiohead fan. But if I play it on the Martin it plays perfectly.
