Installing WoW problem

Hey,I decided to play WoW once again,but I borrowed my discs to my friend and I'm so lazy to go for them back :D So I decided to download the enGB client through the installer from blizzard,but in installation it asks me to put in my DVD rom a disc labeled as WoTLK,I just look like "WTF?",because this is the reason why I download it... I just click cancel,and install is complete,at patch 3.2.0 with WoTLK,I already have my patches,so I ran 3.2.0 - 3.3.0,but every time I run it,it stops at like 50-60% and says some CRC problem (000xputyourfavoritenumberzhere) at some Northrend file.I ran repair twice. I reinstalled whole WoW like 7 times,and redownloaded TWICE,that's pain in the @$$. BUT IT STILL SAYS SAME PROBLEM. So I think it's the problem of the WoTLK disc. How can I just solve this problem? I know I can go back for my discs to my friend,but why,when one problem is not solved yeah?I just don't leave it unsolved :P
Thanks for help,no flame/trolls please

First, obligatory "wall of text crits you for 9000 (1 overkill)"
Second, they last time I used the downloader/installer, it installed the files as it downloaded. All I can think of, if you really don't want to get the discs, is to remove WoW, delete the installer, delete any temporary files, restart your computer, download the installer again, and try again.
If you want a better answer, go to the Blizz Tech Support forums.
Edit: Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors sometimes come from failing hard drives or bad sectors. A ScanDisk + Defrag might be a good idea as well.

Did you completely delete the installer, the WoW installation AND THE TEMPORARY INSTALL FILES?
The downloader/installer downloads the install files then installs them. If they are still on your computer, the installer will not download new ones.
Two more things:
The comma is not a replacement for the period.
Try the official WoW Tech Support forum.
Edit: The files you should be concerned with are located under
"C:\Program Files\Blizzard Entertainment\World of Warcraft Installer" for WinXP
"C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Blizzard Entertainment\World of Warcraft Installer" for Win Vista/7.
If you still can't find them, search your hard drive for "installer tome.mpq.part"

Might it just as well be his patch 3.2 thats corrupted?.
Since he installs the game without problems, but get fail every time he tries to patch it?.
At least, thats how i understand the matter.
Edit:
Try downloading the 3.2 patch again. you can find a link
At Wowwiki

Could you provide the exact text that the error produces?
Have you tried the Official Technical Forum, and asked there?
It should work without a problem, if you removed everything WoW-related from your computer, and installed it fresh from the DVD, and let the patches fix the rest.
In case it's that 3.2.x-patch, try simply deleting that, and let the game re-download it.

I can't ask on official forums,because I haven't paid a fee for it. I'm gonna pay at the moment when I AM able to play the game,otherwise,it's a waste of money
The error message is :
The update could not be applied.
The patch "base\world\maps\Northrend\Northrend_26_14.adt" could not be applied. (CRC mismatch: expected 0x4603e676, actual 0xce0f8aed.) 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. (BNUpdate::PTCApply)
To check this installation for problems, click the "Repair" button. The Repair tool can automatically fix many update errors.
I would appreciate if someone would upload somewhere Northrend_26_14.adt from patch.mpq from WoW enGB that is exactly version 3.2.0,but I think no one's gonna waste time :(
I have different errors of course on different versions,this one is from patch 3.2.0 - 3.3.0,I already redownloaded it,so it isn't the .exe's fault
