You've probably told WinRAR to associate itself with ISO files. Use a burning tool such as DVD Decrypter/ImgBurn/Nero/Alcohol 120% to burn the ISO at about 2x onto high quality media.

Use the image burning Wizard to burn it then. I don't think it's a RAR file but rather an ISO. Maybe not, and someone has packed it up wrong. You may have to use Qwix to create the ISO from ther game files.

Open up WinRAR first brose to folder wth all 70 files in right click on 1st file ie r00 but any will do. extract to somewhere were you will find it (ie new folder on desktop) this should then give you your ISO file to burn with DVD Decrypter, Nero or what ever you use

He has only one RAR file, not other volumes.

EDIT : You mentioned you had more than one RAR file,, associate them with WinRAR and open them up inside winrar..

im going to explain this as best i can, might sound a bit dumb but ah well....

It starts out as 1 rar file, i double click it & it goes to about 60 or 70 files, starting .r00, and so on, i click on 1 of them and it extracts to the iso, but cant get to iso, when i look on my computer, im a bit of a spaz when it comes to this, but ive got a m8 who's gonna have a look 2night so i will update this again 2morrow.

Cheers for your help guys!!!!

Like I said in previous post.create a new folder on your desk top call it anything you like. RIGHT CLICK r00 file in WinRAR and choose EXTRACT TO SPECIFIED FOLDER. highlight new folder in window that pops up and click ok. sit back and wait when finished you will have an ISO file in your new folder ready for burning

ok I had this prob try this. download QWIX from here http://www.teamavalaunch.com/qwix/ intall, open prog, click on create ISO, tick box for local folder, browse for your downloaded file by clicking to the right of the long box (3 little dots) then click create Iso in the box below. A window will pop up just click save down the bottom and prog will do its work your new ISO should then be in the same folder as your rar files good luck

managed to do it last night with some help from my m8.

we opened the first rar file, then with the next 60 odd rar files we copied them all, opened one of them, went to the temp which had the iso in, & then copied all the filles there, then when we extracted the iso, it worked fine, the problem was it kept asking for volumes, but when they were in the same file it worked

cheers any way though
