Where can I find a tutorial to rebuild a website from this image? I really do want to only use CSS/HTML (notepad) but I will use dreamweaver and photoshop. I really want to do it from scratch and just need a starting point, or guide. Thanks!

Just curious, -is this web site yours, or do you wish merely to emulate the general layout of this site?
'notepad' would be good for building all-browser, but you could speed things up if you used a html-editor, like "editplus2". I think you can download a 'trialware' version for 30-days free use. It used to still function even after 30-days, -you just had to close to pop-over 'reminder' of how many days use you've used, and a link to register/buy. Trial-ware is the same version as the registered (nothing is held back).
-Makes writing your code & viwing it (in IE-mode) fast & easy.
Anyway, avoid use of TABLE-layout. I see nothing on that image that wold warrant TABLE use.

It's a nice design you've got there.
It's not clear what level of experience you have. There won't be a tutorial that tells you how to make your site, but there are hundreds or thousands of tutorials that may or may not be suitable for you depending on your experience level.
Books always worked the best for me, and there are dozens of great titles on CSS and web design in general. For beginners, Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML is a good book, and CSS: The Missing Manual is great too.
As for an editor, you'll want something that will do stuff like syntax highlighting, snippets and code completion. I like Vim...
