There's a burner in Knoppix, but that's kind of a chicken and egg thing .....

Nero used to let you download it and use it as a free trial for some period of time (I think 30 days). I'm not certain but I think that's still the case. I believe it makes entries in the registery (maybe elsewhere) to enforce the trial period. There very well could be other free Windows tools, but none come to mind. Perhaps someone else will make a suggestion.

I'm not clear on why you say I think i might have messed up the burning process. Do you have reason to think that something went wrong when you burned it with your software? Most good burning software can burn an iso image, but you don't just copy it to the CD (the common rookie mistake). Why do you think your burn isn't good? Also worth mentioning, did you check the md5 sum of the iso file that you downloaded? This is very important, particularly if you downloaded by HTTP or FTP rather than by Bittorrent. At least half of the knoppix ISO files I've downloaded have been corrupt. If you can't be bothered to learn how to check the md5 sum then you're likely going to waste a lot of time and no burning software will help you. And if you just can't be bothered to take this simple step, then maybe Linux isn't for you anyway.
