    Winrar, assuming you just want to view and extract.

    if you are wanting to mount the image then use Daemon Tools

    Winrar doesnt seem to work, it says the file is either damaged or corrupted but im almost definate its not :S

    It wouldnt read it correctly whereas ISO buster did but simply wouldnt extract it due to me not having the full version

    Any other programs? :S

    Daemon tools i dont want to use as im a noob with it, id just rather extract the files :S

    I'll stick my oar in and recommend Alcohol 120% as an alternative to Daemon Tools.

    Or Alcohol 52%.

    I downloaded it as a trial, but it hasn't grumbled about payment yet. Does 120% behave the same way?

    Daemon tools hardly requires expertise. However, if WinRAR says its corrupt it almost certainly is. I've opened hundreds of RAR's with winRAR and never encountered a single problem. An alternative is WinISO(IIRC) but I don't know if thats free or not anymore.

    You should be able to confirm whether the file is corrupted or not, with a dedicated ISO program such as MagicISO, PowerISO, or UltraISO (the one I use) :idea:
