The .iso file is not a Rar file, it's - um - an .iso file! ;-) The filetype
is probably just associated with a software on your computer which can read
archives like .zip, because .iso files (like .zips) are archive-like files
which contain other files.
Please have a look at <http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#record-windows> You
should definitely use a method similar to the ones described there to write
the CD - "extracting" the files inside the .iso with your Rar-reading
software will leave you with a freshly burned CD which doesn't work...
Cheers,
Richard
