How to repair a .rar file using Winrar

With Win Explorer create a sub folder REPAIRED Open WinRar, browse to the folder with the damaged Rar file(z). U can find which one is bad by selecting the 1st RAR file and using TEST button. Select the damaged file, press REPAIR button. In dialogue box, enter the path to the REPAIR subfolder, or browse to it. As long as there is a RECOVERY record in that Rar, it will be repaired. Copy all the NON-DAMAGED rars to your repair folder and rename the REPAIRED file back to it's original name. Proceed with extraction in the REPAIR folder as normal.

How to use the PASSWORD PROFILEcreated Earlier

To learn how to set password profile click here Note -> Everything U set on the default profile will occur everytime U rar files. So when U need the password profile, follow these instructions. The Default profile is used otherwise, such as when using WinRar from the contest menus in explorer. Open WinRar Browse to the filez/folderz U want to Rar with Password. Highlight all filez/folderz to be included. Press the ADD button. GENERAL tab | PROFILES button Scoll down to the profile whcih has the password set.

How to create a password profile in Winrar

open WInRar Click the ADD Icon ADVANCED | Push the SET PASSWORD Button Check the SHOW PASSWORD box, so U can see what U typed and also copy/paste it to wherever U need it, such as on yer post. Now only one box will be open to enter the password. COPY/PASTE it to a txt file. I call mine WinRAR_Password.txt. Do this IMMEDIATELY afer entering it, before closing that window, or U may be very sorry later. Enter the password. It is CASE SENSITIVE. If the password is 8 or more alpha-numeric characters, no one will be able to hack it. Unless they own a super-computer. Avoid using words that are found in dictionaries. Check the encrypt file names box. That way, even if some nasty person obtains yer Rar file, they won't know what is in it, especially if the name U give the rar file is "Grandma_pix.rar" or whatever. Back to GENERAL tab | PROFILES button | Save Current Settings to a New Profile Enter the name of this profile. For example if the passwd is ht*p://www.tool-

Winrar setting options correctly

Open WInRar OPTIONS | SETTINGS | COMPRESSSION | CREATE DEFAULT GENERAL | (ok now that we're there, here's what U do next) But 1st -> realize that everything U set on the default profile will occur everytime U rar files. So if U only need a password occasionally, or other special settings, then create another profile for those purposes. U can change which profile U need to use when WinRar is open. The Default profile is used otherwise, such as when using WinRar from the context menus in explorer. General tab: Archive format RAR Compression method BEST size (enter in BYTES the size you want as the max single Rar file). I use 51,200,000 (50,000 KB x 1024). But chose yer max size as U wish. Update method ADD AND REPLACE FILES Archiving options: check > PUT RECOVERY RECORD Archiving options: check > TEST ARCHIVED FILES. Archiving options: check > DELETE FILES AFTER ARCHIVING ( unless U want yer HDD to fill up with the rars & the original
