Nice 1 hursty, that's one fer the bookmarks

 

Ok but why Are they so Much .oo1 And so on Extenstion files which One do you burn.What do the others Do sorry for the Question if it Seems stupid But I'm sure others are Wondering as well...Thanks for the Breakdown

 

They are all pieces of the same archive, broken into smaller pieces for easier transfer / management.

Their may be lots of files but they all work together to reproduce the original content be it a single video file or hundreds of smaller files. Simply double click the first in the set (.001 for example or .rar) to open the winrar application (assuming you have installed it) this will allow you to see the contents of the archive. Or, as the guide says, right click the first one and choose 'extract here'

for more details see the winrar website at http://www.rarlab.com/

 

so basiclly they are just there leave them there and extract the first one not the rest if 1 of them are deleted there may be a problem am i correct ? just analyzing sorry thanks for the info and respond

 

The archive cannot be recreated if there are any parts missing.

*tip*

If you have the luxury of more than 1 hard drive, it is faster to extract from one HD to another. This is because your PC is not reading from and writing to just one Disk. Instead it can perform the read, decompress, write operation much faster.

 

Hi all,

I have a winrar archive from a friend, 50 folders in all, a program installer. I have finished the extraction and have these extention files:

winINI- an installer type
winINI.mds- an MDS file

is something missing with this, I need to ru the installer.

please help,

neo

 

whats that?

it must be an image,

try opening dvd decrypter and selecting/burning the MDS file

 

hey i downloaded a game, and its also .001 -> .021, but theres also an .sfv and a .nfo file in it, and each time i try to extract the .001 file, it gives an error and sais the file is corrupt, what shuld i do??

 

are you sure its 100% finished?
re-open the torrent in a different client?

also run the sfv file in a sfv checker (google)
if still no good....chuck it

 

i tried the sfv checker and it sais that the .002 file's status checksum error is, can i still use my torrent, i downloaded it 100% sure, and maybe can ik repair the error file

 

now i opened the 002 file with winrar and extracted a windows file, and there in was a 002 file that when was extracted, there was an iso file, i replaced that file and now everything checks right with sfv checker

 

it worked after all thx alot

 

i have done everything shown on the screen but no luck!!! i tried to extract the first rar file and it sais next volume required, then i opened that one and it sais the file name with rar01.z00. I have also checked the files with sfv checke and everything was 100% ok. help plz
