Cannot access it.  Do you have another site?
Try ubuntu:
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

Download "Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop" and burn it directly to a CD.

If you would prefer to boot from a flash drive, download this awesome program:
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
When you run that, you can tell it to make you a bootable flash drive with Ubuntu, or any number of other linux distributions, and it will.  Saves a lot of time/effort.
here is a list of linux live distributions: http://www.livecdlist.com/
Ubuntu, suggested above allows you to run in live and installation mode,  Its probably the most popular these days

Since this is Windows, you may want to look at this too:

Windows PE

It's a bootable Windows CD which would allow you to rename the files you wanted pretty easily.  Pretty much any of the previously mentioned Linux CD's would also do that, but you certainly don't need a 600MB download to fix such a simple problem.  INSERT is a good one if you want to use Linux.
Thank you.  Can you point me to bewsite for ISO file for me to create the windows boot cd?
