RAR files unpack
I have downloaded a RAR file. When using WINRAR it now created a directory with little volume rars. filename.r00, filename.r01, filename.r02, etc.
Can someone assist me in explaining how to complete this unpack. When I unpack the first one, it creates a folder with a bin and cue file. When i start with the second on (filename.r01) it wants to overwrite the file exisiting.
Help?
Thanks

Just download winrar or winace, and doublr click the 00 file, it should do that
The .bin and .cue files say it is for burning as an "original" CD basically, called an .ISO
RAR files can either be contained entirely in one .RAR file or spread out in multiple RAR files. For example, if you have the following 4 files:
thisdisc.rar
thisdisc.r00
thisdisc.r01
thisdisc.r02
then "thisdisc" is the file in 4 parts. If you try to open and extract any one of them, you extract all of them.
A .bin file is a binary rip of a cd. Very much like an ISO image, however, .cue files are required to burn them. .cue files are text-only files, very short, that define the characteristics of the disc. To correctly burn these bin/cue files, you must use a compatible burning program that understands the cue format. Nero is one. Tell it to burn an image and select the cue file (the bin and cue files must be in the same directory).
thisdisc.rar
thisdisc.r00
thisdisc.r01
thisdisc.r02

actually if there are 2 files....
like filename.r00 filename.r01
just open EITHER one of them with WinRAR and it will automatically
incorporated with the other rXX files....
so you did open the r01 file, actually its the same.
look at the extracted files .BIN and .CUE, and if its around 400MB, or 700MB or greater than, then your extraction is successful.

The method of how exactly WinRAR names a multiple file archive varies by version, but if you unrar the original .rar file you have, I understand you get a bunch smaller files inside the archive. All you have to do from here is to open the .r00 file with WinRAR and extract it one more time, overwritting the files. In some instances, when a multiple file archive is created there is an identifiable .nfo or .txt file or maybe another kind of file that is in every archive, and overwritting these is okay.
Give it a shot, and if you have trouble still, post back and I will help further.
