Can you hear it..??
Hi all..

I just recieved a single file as multiple .rar files.when I extracted them to a single folder to retrieve it each I recieved it shows a series of .r"xx" files xx are numbers like .r00, .r01 etc in sequence. What are these and How can I get my original file back..??

( When I again extracted from one of those..i found a .bin and .cue file.. are they associated with .rar compression..I couln't find in the help section of the s/w.. Anyone got an idea..??)

rar can be split as multiple files, all having the same extensions as .rar or different extensions (I have not done this personally) as you mentioned, r01, r02 and so on. Your file was first rared using r01, r02 and then the whole package was again rar'ed using .rar extension, i guess.
nothing to worry if you got the desired files! :)

:cool: This is a splitting technique used by the winrar in equal sizes.....except the last file size in the series(which is generally smaller than its previous files):D

it is needed in some cases such as uploading/downloading files from certain
sites (ex: rapidshare.com) :cool:

yes, that is the file which was rar'ed. its an image file. i use powerISO for mounting files. You can also choose Deamon tools alternatively.

.bin & .cue are cd image formats (like .iso) you can use nero,roxio or any cd burning software to burn the cd.........or use ultraiso,poweriso to extract content from it...........ultraiso and poweriso will show the contents in it .......then u can decide to extract a part of imge or all contents of image.

You extract the no1 file from it and this will automatically merge and extract all the files which are in serial numbers. These are techniques of splitting a large file into smaller and then retransforming into a single file.
