I got the file from a torrent link. Now i have a folder with 23 .rar files 28mb each. Reading through the manual i'm seeing it should be a .iso. I have never used this, but i'm trying to learn it, what happened? or what should i do?

1. download WinRAR (older versions can also give file corruption errors)
2. dbl click the .rar file
3. when it opens up in WinRAR select everything inside
4. click "Extract To"
5. select a place to save it to
winRAR will open up each rar automatically and extract and combine all the pieces

reading the manual is a good start, and after that, burn it to a disk

Hi manndexter..
Once you have the mutliple .rar files on your pc you can use a program called WINAR to extract the aid2.iso file from inside of them.
Download winrar and install it to your pc and then use the WINRAR program to extract the main .rar file.. Once it has finished you can navigate to the folder where you extracted the AID2.RAR files and you will find a AID2.iso file or similar..
Just burn the AID2 iso file to DVD-R or CDRW using DVDDECRYPTER, NERO or your favorite burning software.
Thats it.. Pop it in your xbox and boot the DVD-R/CDRW of AID you just burnt.. A menu will appear and let you install all you want.

As an added bonus, when you open WinRAR and tell it to extract, point to only the first of the rar files and the rest will un-rar (is that a word) automatically and fall in line. Bit torrent games do the same thing, not that I've ever tried to download games off bit torrent mind you.
I think my mothers calling me... CYA! _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

No, once the unraring(?) is complete you may show another large rar file but that's because windows doesn't understand what it's seeing. That should be your ISO and you can check either by the extension or via Nero/Alcohol 120. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th
