That file should not have been a RAR file, but an ISO file system
image.  There should have been nothing to extract.

There should not have been a folder - it's just a single file to burn
to the disk using Nero or other tools.

There is no Caldera dr-dos or anything that could present an A:\>
prompt on the CD.

download.fedoraproject.org is merely a redirector.  Do you by chance
know the IP or DNS name of the actual machine from which you
downloaded the ISO file?  Did you verify that the ISO contents
matched, as described here: http://fedoraproject.org/en/verify
?

I am concerned that what you describe should absolutely never happen,
and that you received something which was not produced by the Fedora
Project.

Do you have any USB keys or similar, attached to this system, which
could have been the source of the Caldera DR-DOS environment, and not
the ISO image?

Thanks,
