Getting an error when running the patchFollow

Is anyome else getting this error?

Blizzard Updater was unable to read the file "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\Patch.MPQ". This error may be caused by problems with the media or drive at C:\--for example, a scratched or dirty CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, hard drive corruption, or a networking problem while downloading the update. (The data being read was "CREATURE\DragonSpawn\DragonSpawnGreater.m2", and the error code was 4.) If this problem persists, you may be able to solve it by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are unable to correct this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (Converter::Load)

I ran the downloader, I tried downloading the entire patch but I still get the same message. Any help would be appreciated.

Just an FYI, in case you ever have this problem.

There is a Repair Utility that can be downloaded from Blizz's tech support page. It analyses the patch.mpq file fould in c:\Program Files\WorldofWarcraft\Data if you have any corruption it will fix and roll back your version to a previous version. After re-installing the patches I was able to log in without having to reinstall the game.
