I've just downloaded the file from Server Elements, and it appears as a single WinRar archive?? How do I get from here to a bootable CD with the necessary files on it?

I just did the following, with no success:

(1) Unpacked the WinRar download into a temp folder.
(2) 5 pieces were extracted - 3 folders ("BOOT" / "DOC" / "MMU") and two files ("AUTORUN" ms-dos batch file / "AUTORUN" set up information).
(3) I burnt these 5 items onto a CD-R, using Nero's standard "create a data disc" option.
(4) Tried to boot from the CD-Rom drive of my NAS box and got the message "invalid system disk etc etc etc".

Please help.

What you downloaded is an ISO image and not a RAR file. Use NERO to burn the ISO image directly to the CD. Check the NERO docs on how to burn an ISO to a CD.
