The method that I use to extract CDI files is as fallows. I always make a new folder and rename it to what ever the game is. then I drop the .rar into it and then I right click it, then select "extract here" this will put the CDI/ISO in the folder that you created. once it is extracted you can delete the rar if you like.

I no longer use winrar, but this method does work for winrar and 7zip. I prefer 7zip 64 bit and I would recommend it to anyone using a 64bit OS. If you are still using a 32bit 7zip 32bit works for both 64 and 32 bit systems. give that a try. if you download something with more than one part make sure that all the parts are in the same folder and hit "extract here" on the first file.
