    I'm not sure, but maybe when you extract them all in the same folder they might become a single .iso file. Not sure, mind that.

    Make sure that all of the parts are in the same directory, then choose the first one and extract it, the rest will follow, as it was probably split in Winrar, so it always looks for the file with the same filename and continues. But that's for archives, it's probably meant to be played in parts. Tell me if you got like heaps of archives that were split.

    if they're winrar parts just extract one of them as normal, winrar will automatically combine them.

    7zip doesn't support Winrars splitting of archives I believe. It's mainly only a simple extraction program.

    7-zip does the winrar archives as well.

    However, my rule of thumb is to unrar using winrar and use 7-zip for .7z extensions.

    Since the user most likely used the same program to archive it, you should use the same program to extract it.

    i figured it out 7-zip can split and combine files too

    So does it work? If not, use Winrar.

    WinRAR supports .7z archives, why having both?

    7z is smaller for simple jobs, but although you're going to need Winrar anyway.
