If you burned the RAR files to cds, you just wasted 3 CDs :(. You need 
to burn the .iso files to cds, which are ISO Images of a cd. Do a google 
search for a program called winrar.  Pretty much same thing as winzip, 
but different filetype. Unrar (instead of unzip...) them and you should 
have an ISO file. I don't know what program you use to burn CDs, but if 
its Roxio/Adaptec, just double click ont eh iso file and it will do the 
rest. Theres a difference between just putting the .iso file on a CD and 
burning the ISO image to a CD! Remember that and you will have less CD 
coasters!
