Excuse my newbness.

I have a rar that is (supposedly) of 2 isos. Everytime I try to extract with Winrar, I get a "This archive is either in unknown format or damaged" message. I have the latest version of Winrar, as someone suggested to me. What can I do with this? Help!

are you sure that the .rar file isnt damaged.
It could also be that you may have to create an association with WinRAR .

I guess I have no choice but to believe it's damaged, as the association is fine. Ugh!
