Have you tried WinRAR's repair option? You can force the extraction by setting it to ignore corrupt files. You might be able to salvage most of it, depending on how much is damaged.

0 golazo Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 in winrar you can right click on the file and then click repair but if that doesnt work you'll probably have to download your game again :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Saadu Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 in winrar there is an option that says ignore crc errors and keep the file if errors occour. because normally after errors, it deletes the file so this option prevents that. also, i have had that happen to me several times... and here is what i did to counter measure that. - target drive has low disk: give it ample space to extract stuff. delete your temp files. empty trash. - defrag the target disk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ainoa Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 in winrar there is an option that says ignore crc errors and keep the file if errors occour. 585121752[/snapback] Where's the option? I cannot find it under the option, using v3.41 :cry: Also, I have some files that cannot be decompressed due to CRC problems, but friends download the same files from the same FTP have no problem. What would seem being the preblem? Bad HDD? The problems appears only to files downloaded from FTPs, not via HTTP or BT or other... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 alllexx Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Where's the option? I cannot find it under the option, using v3.41 :cry: Open the ZIP, RAR, or EXE file in the main WinRAR interface. Now click the Extract To icon button. Under the Miscellaneous section you should see an option called Keep broken files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 garwin Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 repairing/recovery is possible only if the archiver has added some recovery. or redownload the rar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MackkieD Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 If your TAR file which contained RAR files has been corrupted and if you have created a backup of that file, then you can easily restore the corrupt TAR file. But if not, then don't worry; recovery can also be done in that case. All you need, a software recovery application which can repair the corrupt files. But before that always select those tools who offer free trial version of their software. Few weeks ago, I used Archive Recovery tool's demo version from sysinfotools. It made me believe that it can help me, then I got its full version. Now I'm really very satisfied with it. You can also check its trial version for more surety. It easily recovers all RAR files which has been corrupted due any particular reason. and don't worry, it's a multy-utility recovery tool which supports all files' format. http://www.sysinfotools.com/recovery/archive-recovery.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MalwaresUcksbaDly Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 as you have not bothered to describe the content smushed in the span set the ignore and retain option is you only bet unless you also have the par2 set? ignore crc errors and keep the file if errors occour. yup mikebush 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
