Title: Get error when open rar
Post by: GezaToth on 18. May 2016., 12:34:51

(I am asking this question on behalf of a co-worker).

-  We have an 11 Gigabyte RAR  (WinRAR) file.
-  When we try to uncompress the file we are getting a CRC (checksum) error.
-  We are using the latest version of WinRAR  (3.4.2).
-  The WinRAR repair utility is not working on the file.
-  We are unable to extract the and keep it even if it is bad (WinRAR allows you to do this sometimes...extract without confirmation does not work).

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

7-zip is less strict... If that fails too... Well I think you have to give your friend some bad news :(

WinRAR has a built-in function that lets you bypass CRC errors. During the normal process, the extracted file is deleted once the error occurs. Right-click the RAR and select "Extract Files..." to open the general options window. Under "Miscellaneous," put a check by "Keep Broken Files." The file saves to the folder you specify, despite the CRC data. Many files will not work using this method if they are too damaged, but some will. You might be able to help also program RAR Recovery Toolbox. There is a demo version and you can verify whether this utility is useful to you or not. http://www.oemailrecovery.com/rar_recovery.html

This isn't the latest version, 5.40 is the current one.

@googlemail
Try to use the latest version or get another copy of the file.

You can try a more updated version of WinRAR. It may also be that the file size is too large for WinRAR puedad work with him ...

Try 7zip It is open source and seems to work much better than Winrar.

Estoy buscando un programa que saques las claves de un archivo tipo RAR de WinRAR que por error no recuerdo la clave.
No hay mucho en el mercado, estoy dispuesto a comprar un programa que me podais aconsejar. He visto algunos y no dan confianza y tardan demasiado en gestionar las claves del fichero. Me quedo a la espera de vuestros comentarios.Saludos. Potax

There is not much in the market, I am willing to buy a program that you can advise me. I have seen some and they do not give confidence and take too long to manage the keys of the file. I'm waiting for your comments. Greetings. Potax
