What version of winrar are you using?
Have you tried to use 7zip or one similar software?

I see Windows 64... I guess you're using WinRAR 64 bit as well? If so, try using the 32 bit version (of WinRar), I think there are some stability issues with the 64 bit version.

AFAIK winrar is unable to extract the iso file properly. You would be safer using 7zip to extract the ISO. if I may ask, why exactly are you extracting the ISO?

Try using 7-Zip which is more suited to extract *.wim files than WinRar

for complex UDF ISO images neither WinRAR nor UltraISO is stable enough... You'd better mount the image with some virtual cdrom software and copy the files from the emulated disc..

I would suggest usage of 7-zip rather than winrar as it is more stable and faster.
