wich is a: WinRAR archive

It's probably windows being peculiar. You need to burn them as an image, not just copy them to a CD.

I bet you installed winrar and made it the default application for opening zipped and iso files. Anyway you need to use something like Nero and burn the CD image and not just copy the iso to the CD as mentioned above.
