If you actually bought HXUS039R-US (v11.00) from Garmin (instead of downloading the map with links provided here at Noeman) you should be entitled to a free upgrade of that map. All BlueChart g2 & BlueChart g2 Vision with version 11.00 where recalled by Garmin. Details could be found at Garmin homepage.

There's no CD edition of BlueChart g2 charts. You may find MapSource CDs for the discontinued BlueChart (g1) products.

As catymag pointed out - Use Garmin HomePort to view the chart on a PC.
It's possible to use GMapTool/cGPSmapper to make a crippled MapSource version. That needs some tweaking but it's not worth the efforts since HomePort can do it better without hours of trial-and-errors attempts.
