    those files are compressed RAR files. your going to need a program called winrar to open those files, and decompress, most probably resulting in an .ISO file which you can then burn.

    right click on the file "SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition CD1.001" and select open with WinRar. Or you can open WinRar, and then just drag the file of the desktop (or wherever it is saved) into the WinRar window.

    once the file opens, don't click on any of the individual files in the archive, at the top, there is a big button titled "Extract To"

    click on that, it will bring up a dialog box simply asking where you'd like to extract it to. select somewhere easy to find and a place you won't forget (desktop is a good bet)

    it should start decompressing the contents of the archive, and if done properly it should open up the following archives as well, ie .002 .003 etc.

    once you have done that for the first disk, just repeat the process for the second disk.
