short answer: 

  No

longer answer: 

  When you get the ISO image, you can burn the ISO image with your favorite 
CD-R burning software. Most of the burning software is capable of burning
a CD image. Sometimes you need to rename the "*.iso" files to "*.img" or
something, but that is a minor detail. So you can do that from Windows.

  You can then boot from the CD-R you have just burnt. It will boot up
Linux, and it will install Hurd onto your harddisk, and from your harddisk, 
Hurd will start up.
