    Hello. I have a problem with compressed folders, it looks like the attachment, i.e. zip folders cannot be unpacked. I will add that I tried win7 and it also failed. Additionally, I tried to repair folders with zip repair, but also without any positive effects. Can anyone help me open folders correctly? I am asking and even begging for help ..


    Regards
    Veronica

    Do you have disk space and write access to the directory you want to extract?

    I have free disk space (about 190 GB), but unfortunately I do not know what I mean by "write access to the directory" ;) How to check? I will add that the computer is freshly recovered.

    Why don't you try to pack through the 7zip I see in your screenshot? ;-)
    If you packed it with it, I am not surprised that the Windows zip is not overwhelmed by it. In 7zip you can set various compression methods which this Windows archiver cannot cope with.

    If 7zip is not very intuitive for you, you can always download WinRAR :)

    The files were packed with Winrar and when I try to unpack them with 7zip there are also problems as you can see in the attached picture. I haven't tried to unpack with Winra'rem yet, but I will download it soon and try ...

    All archives from all sources or only this particular one?
    In the first case, it is worth checking (testing) the efficiency of RAM and disk.
    In the second one, make sure if the source exists, if it is not a problem on its - or the way of data transfer - side, or check if another version of RAR will not allow for proper extraction (such "strange" related to the versions of this program already were described).

    Strange messages. Can you show SMART disk?

    I don't think this is the program's fault, because from several downloaded folders in zip format, one unpacks normally. :(
    In any case, please give me further advice on how to solve the problem
    And as for SMART - how to do it?
    (maybe it's funny, but I can't ..)

    Click on the link and download the program.

    The disk is in good condition.
    Archive damaged.

    From what I can see from the last WinRAR screenshot, it was an archive split into lots of small parts. In the folder under the WinRAR window I don't see enough of them (the program has 113 number, so there should be about that number.

    You have to find the rest of this archive, or you can comfort yourself with the first 8mb of data (this is what one part of the archive takes from what I saw in the screenshot).

    No, it is not necessary.
    What will memtest do when the rest of the archive is missing? -_-

    It is because it does not apply to one archive, but to many. At least I understood that.

    So if I have to do a memtest, which version should I download?
    Is there a chance that I will unpack these folders correctly? I really care ...

    Thanks to everyone involved for their help. :)

    and make a bootable pen from which to boot the computer.
    But after so many hits on the disk, it also needs to be scanned.

    I doubt it because the archive is incomplete.

    Honestly, I don't care so much about the laptop as I do with the photos and videos that are compressed. I would love to "find the rest of this archive", but I have no idea how to do it .. :( :( :(

    Hmm ... Where did you pack this data? Were they on your computer? There is still a shadow of a chance that they will be recoverable if you have removed them.

    The files must have a common string in their name. Search like this.

    So maybe I will describe the situation from the beginning ...
    Well, my Asus simply did not respond to some activities or commands, it crashed, etc. Therefore, I had to act quickly, because the session was in reserve ... So without thinking very much :( I did not make a backup, but compressed what was most necessary, put it on the network and did a recovery. Now the notebook is flickering like new, except that I cannot open the unlucky folders properly ... I am a computer specialist, so I decided to look for help on the electrode, because I know that you can get this one here (once one of the users helped me solve my bios problems in Benq ...).

    Added after 5 [minutes]:

    I don't know, but maybe it's important that the files were on the D partition (I have a system on C), then I moved them to C and then compressed them. Before recovery, I downloaded them all and checked if everything was ok (and it seemed to be) .. And now it is as described .. :(

    Did you do Recevery only for the system partition or for the entire disk? If only for the system partition, it is likely that these files can be found in d: \ System Volume Information (provided that system restore was not disabled for "d: \" ;) .

    I will repeat again about the disk:

    You haven't done the memory test either, so what do you expect if you don't follow the recommendations?

    We ask for it once.

Topic summary

Veronica is experiencing issues unpacking zip files on her Windows 7 system, despite having sufficient disk space. She attempted to use various tools, including WinRAR and 7zip, but encountered problems, particularly with archives that appear to be split into multiple parts. Users suggested checking disk write access, testing RAM and disk efficiency, and verifying the integrity of the archives. It was noted that some archives unpack correctly while others do not, indicating potential corruption or missing parts. Veronica's files were originally on a D partition before being moved to C and compressed. Recommendations included performing a memory test and checking for recoverable files in the System Volume Information if a system recovery was performed only on the system partition.
