    When one creates an RAR Archive of a VERY LARGE collection of Files, this can be split into Part 1 , Part 2, etc.

    Would anyone happen to know if it is possible to recover Files from only one of these 'Parts', as in, mine was divided into 2 and I lost number 2, but I would still like to recover what I can.

    Many Thanks.

    Which program are you using? WinRar?
    What happens when you try to view the first file?

    If memory serves me correctly, I seem to recall the 2nd one is to be inserted first since it holds the directory, it reads it then it tells you to insert the first one.
    (It's been a while since I archived into segments.....now I use DVD 's)

    Thanks for both replies.

    The first File is read, but then I am asked for the second, and the only alternative is to Break the extraction, or words to that effect.
