unrar-3.20-0.beta2.1plf rpm. I use it everyday usin FileRoller as
the GUI frontend to it. Works great, even on very large files with
many many partxx.rar's.

I don't understand this. You're d/l'g .iso images from
Mandrake's site and W98 see them as .rar's? Doesn't make any sense
at all. This from several year old memory, but I completely borked
my Mandrake install, and had to use W98 to d/l the Mandrake .iso's,
then used EZCD Creator to make CD's so I could get back to Linux.
No problem.
If you're really d/l'g Mandrake91-cd1-inst.i586.iso it isn't
a rar archive and winrar won't extract it. It just needs to be
burnt to a cd as an image, not a data file. .iso are just one type
of image file, audio CD's are another, any OS. As has already been
suggested, check the md5sum of the iso before, and the CD after
burning. If those check, and the CD won't boot, most likely it's a
hardware or configuration problem.
