I have installed wordpress template affinity with auto install with godaddy server on the following site:
www.doorrepairorlando.com/
and the sample image and content is not showing? does this template need a manual install (if so how do I do this?) or what to load the sample story in the feature section or what code is used here? also how do I install the contact form and a photo gallery? thanks you in advance for any help here on these issues

I am not a WP guy, but things are basically the same when it comes to applying a template to an existing install or using a Rocket Launcher install.
Applying a template to an existing install will only apply the template to the content you already have installed. (Which it seems you have done.)
If you want to recreate the RL demo version, it has to be done on a clean install and DB.
For example, if you wanted to install a RL version for editing or reference, you could create a sub folder on your site, www.doorrepairorlando.com/test , along with a new DB and run the install, including the sample data, and this would replicate the site (minus the actual images, due to copyright restrictions which are replaced with 'placeholder' images). - Thanks,
jim

- One more question please, I make the sub folder, create new database, run the rocket-launcher on the affinity template, so how does it replicate the site: doorrepairorlando(I know with placeholder images) ????

The rocket launcher is to replicate the site.
The template files are to apply the template to an existing install.
Please see the tutorial in the demo version:
demo.rockettheme.com/wordpress/wp_affinity/ - Thanks,

(Affinity January 2010 Released
Affinity is the January 2010 release from RocketTheme and features great new widgets like RokStories and RokTabs, and brand new theme settings page giving you more freedom than ever!
The perfect compliment to its Joomla and PHPBB3 counterpart. Read the Full StoryAdvanced RokStories Styling
RokStories has been overhauled to provide the spectacular display that you see on this demo. The widget adapts depending on your image size, so no need to manually create rounded corners on your images, RokStories will do the rest.
Rewriting it to widget let’s you configure and use it even easier! Read the Full Story)

this is what I do?
Extract rt_affinity_wp-sample-(version).zip
Enter the wp-content folder from inside of the sample package
Upload from it “rockettheme” folder using your favorite FTP client to your WordPress wp-content directory.
Locate sample_data.xml
Login into the WordPress administrator dashboard ( www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/ )
In the left menu sidebar, go to Tools → Import
Select WordPress from the numerous options
Click Choose File and select sample_data.xml from your computer
Click Upload File and Import
Now you can create a new author for sample posts or map it to existing user.
Press the Submit button and let the Wordpress do the rest.
