Post subject: WinRar Error Message - Packed data CRC failed

I get an error like "Packed data CRC failed in volume name. The volume is corrupt"!

This message may be displayed together with the message "CRC failed in file name. The file is corrupt" and may help to detect exactly which volume is corrupt. If a big file is split between a few volumes and only one volume has been damaged after archive creation.

Depending on corrupt archive details, RAR may display or skip this message. The message "CRC failed in file name. The file is corrupt" is always displayed if the file data are damaged.

Check to see if you have installed the recent version. If not, please download the actual WinRAR/RAR version here.

Post subject: Solution

Hello Everyone. I had the same problem with CRC errors in Rar files. I went to google and found a solution after several frustrating hours. I tried repairing with Winrar and other commercial software. Nada. My solution was to ignore the errors. What you do is go to Winrar in the Start Menu. In winrar you click File > open and then select the files you want to unrar. Then you click the "extract to" icon and check the box that says "Keep Broken Files" under miscellaneous. Any CRC error windows that show up during the extraction you ignore/close. The resulting file worked just fine.
