Repair Corrupted RAR Files – How to Extract with WinRAR

extractfile-corruptionrarrepairwinrar

I try to extract a file from set of .RAR parts. I always get the following error:

Corrupted

so I tried many programs to extract the corrupted RAR files. I have 10 parts, each one 400MB big. The last progam I used was Recovery toolbox for RAR.

It gave me the following message:

Severity:!High
Message:Recovery error for file XXXX with message set file
pointer error.

The program extracted 2GB of data, but it should extract 4GB.

Is there any way to extract the content or am I supposed to download the files again from another server?

No, you are doomed, redownload is your best option.

Long Answer

You can start fiddling around with a hex editor and try to fix bad values in the RAR file, if you know how to define bad and how RAR works. But that's for sure a very hard route to take.

WinRAR gives the error "fileDIRECTORY\file.rar: No files to extract"

START "" "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" x "%arg1%" "%arg2"

There is an error in the above command, "%arg2" should be "%arg2% (missing %).

So the command should be:

START "" "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" x "%arg1%" "%arg2%"
