It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

What you want to do is called "Georeferencing". You have to use the "Georeferencing toolbar" in ArcMap:

  1. Add your reference data. Zoom to the extend which the raster data has approximately.
  2. Add the raster data you want to georeference
  3. On Georeferencing toolbar click Fit To Display.
  4. Use Add Control Points tool to add control points: Fist click on the position in the raster data, then on the position in the reference data. Add about 10 or 20 control points (it depends on your data).
  5. Click Georeferencing and click Update Georeferencing to save the transformation information with the raster dataset.

Read help for more information. This video shows Georeferencing in ArcMap.

If the question is unclear, down-vote the question. Why would you penalize a person who took pains to answer what is probably the correct answer? – Devdatta Tengshe Feb 22 at 11:56

I think you mean georeference a raster image: Use the georeferencing toolbar (right-click on a empty space on the toolbar to activate) . More info: http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=Georeferencing_a_raster_dataset
