no U use a Virtual CD program like Daemon tools and run it on a Virtual CD

u can use winrar and such to extract the files, but if u use daemon tools and mount it to a Virtual CD, u don't have to go through all that pain.

Also if u extract and such, there is no guarentee that it will even work, because some games require the CD to be mounted, and Daemon Tools is good for that ^.^

It's a virtual drive, so the ISO file itself becomes a Virtual CD.
When u mount the ISO in the Virtual Drive, it prety much makes the Computer think the ISO file itself is a CD.

That's right. You can also use PowerISO, and MagicISO. I use PowerISO mainly.

use alchool 120% its a paid program(you can find it cracked) its a virtual drive like daemon but it also lets you burn your isos for whatever you need

it's becasue a RAR archive is like a CD image file which an ISO is also.
Prety much they have the same pack coding in the programming which makes it allowable to un-rar a ISO because of the same file programming.

I perfer the Virtual Drive Mounting better, because u get a definate result of it working, but if u un-rar the files using winrar, it tends to make some extractions have corruptions or missing/misplaced files.

Virtual Drives or Actual CD image burning of the ISOs is recomended, because that's how they are supose to be handled.

I prefer virtual CD/alcohol 120%/daemon than winrar to unpack the iso. Because i can burn it to CD/DVD after i mount there or use the iso.
Winrar can make the file corrupted and make waste place on your hardisk (after extraction)
