Hi,

First locate first winrar file: it should be either in *.rar or *.exe format.

If it is in *.rar then you need to install winrar (for ex. search for download in www.download.com). Then you just open archive (this first file) and select extract to.. and type the desired path in. If all rar volumes (e.g. *.rar, *.r00, *.r01 etc.) are in the same directory then everything should be done automatically. If in different then it will promt for path and you 'll have to enter it.
If firs archive file has *.exe extension (self-executable), then you just have to run this archive double-clicking on it in WinExplorer.
It's better to have all archives in one directory, and also there should be a sequence of volumes (e.g. *.r00, *.r01, *.r02 ,not *.r00, *.r08, *.r12).

Have fun.
