Yep. Use Disk Utility (included in OS X) or Burn (free download) to burn the image onto a CD.

To make sure - what are the contents of the CD at the moment? What files are on there?
Good suggestion. Opened up the CD and the download on the desktop and there is nothing on either. WTF?
Sounds like it wasn't burned right.
You are probably right, I'll keep effin w/ it till I get it to work. Thx for your input...
Addendum:
Got the disk burned correctly and have spent the last 3 hours on the PC. The hard drive is most definitely toast. Wished I'd backed up 50% of my 360 Gig HD, Wah....
Try booting the disc into "Command Prompt" and run chkdsk /r against your bad partition.
If that doesn't fix things, burn yourself a live linux disc and rescue what you can of your data before you factory reset the PC
