.RAR Files....

Hi Guys,

I have some .RAR files. I use WINRAR to extract them. But the problem is when it is ‘done’, I get a message saying that the disk space is not enough. But there is plenty of space on that drive to accomodate the extracted files.

How do I extract these .RAR files with no problem???

Mayb tht is bcuz u dnt hav enuff disk space on C:

Winrar makes temp files in C: bfore moving them to whr u want to extract

I have enough space in C. I have 5 GB of free space while the total file downloaded is only of 780MB. And each .RAR file is 48MB. I am not able to extract even the first file. There are 17files of 47 MB each.

K so u hav 5 gigs free in C: drive rite???
Extract it in C: only nd then move it.

I think this shud solve the problem :wink:

maybe u dont have all the rar files. usually 47mb rar files are of a dvd image. so maybe u havent got all the files of the dvd yet.
if it was a cd it would have been 14mb each file. i doubt any1 will release a 780mb release with 47mb filesize of each file.

or otherwise u could simply have low space. try getting the new version of winrar also n try.

@rocky — I am extracting it to C drive itself.

And stormblast — I have not got the all the 17 files. I have got abt 16 files(fully). The 17th file is still incomplete…

Lol…how will it extract if not all files r complete :huh: :face_with_tongue:
Complete it nd thn let us knw if u get the prob again ..:rofl: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

But shouldn’t the file that is complete extract properly???

I am not DUMB. I tried extracting a file which is completed…

Hmm…didnt say u were eithr :face_with_tongue:

But wht am saying is for eg: i hav cme across files which r splitted nd .rar-ed
these files whn extracting r fixed into the single file (eg .bin)

so untill u hav all the files it wont cme out …

correct me if am wrong thou:)

yup… u need all the files to extract successfully.

The program will check the stability of the entire archive and extract the data mate. You need all the files, wait for the download to complete.

OK guys… thanks a lot for your replies…

I assumed that out of 17 files if 16 files have completed, I can extract them without waiting for the 17th file to finish.

Thanks anyway…

I think that is possible in a ZIP File…

it is not possible ever cos the file is a splitted file.
Even in a splitted zip it will first check whether the first and last files are there.
