I Can't Get the New Patch!

I know the new patch is coming out today, so I opened World of Warcraft and let it patch. After a little while, an error came up saying that there was an error and that if this problem occurs I need to reinstall the game. Well, I didn't want any errors or glitches, or anything bad going on with the game, so I reinstalled World of Warcraft. Now the regular launcher with Cataclysm has come up. Does this mean I can't get the new patch now? Am I supposed to wait for it to load fully all the way to playable? Once the maintence is over, do I still get the patch on my game? I'm just worried I won't be able to get the patch, I'm really confused and have tried scrounging around on the internet but haven't found anything to help me out! Could you guys help me out here? I've even tried the Blizzard downloader but it said there was no patch, I'm still waiting for it to fully load so the bar turns green. If you guys could help me out with this patch problem, what is going to happen and what I should do, it'd be
greatly
appreciated.

There are a couple of things you could try:
a. run the wowrepair tool
b. reinstall the client from battle.net
c. shut down completely and re open WoW as an administrator.
You probably still have hours to get this done, don't worry.

What do you mean by I still have 'hours to get this done'?
What if I don't get it done? >.<
Sorry, I'm not a genius. How must I open WoW as an administrator?

I've just tried the WoW repair tool. It said everything has been repaired, but still Cataclysm Launcher..Oh I hope once the patch comes out my computer automatically gets it like the other patches.
If anyone else has any suggestions to help me, please do so.

I meant that servers won't be available for play for hours, and we'll get you through this.
To open WoW as administrator, right click the icon on your desktop instead of double left clicking. A menu will pop up. Select "Run as Administrator". It should be the fourth option from the top.
Sometimes opening programs this way helps bypass any gremlins in the startup process.
You could try uninstalling WoW again, emptying your wastebasket and then downloading the client again from battlenet if the site is up.
