Help?

When I try to extract a .RAR file using WinRAR, I get the following message:

! F:\Job stuff\Images\PMS pictures stuff\Images acquired\Hidria de figuras rojas1.rar: Unexpected end of archive

Erm, does that mean the file is broken in some way?

*is sorry for being useless at these things again*

That does sound like it's incomplete/broken in some way. Maybe try the steps here, or redownload?

OT: love the icon :D

Even more OT: At this rate you could hire me as some kind of IT guru...might be a welcome distraction from current fail :P

Thank you! I'll go through those steps and see if it works. You're definitely my guru (P.S. How much do you charge?!) :)

OT: love the icon :D

*squee* Thank you :D

Yep. The file hasn't finished being archived.

Thank you! :) *nuggles* I think this means I can write an angry email in Spanish.

The "1" in the filename suggests there might be further parts of it that you need.

[rochvelleth]

Ooh, I didn't think of that, thank you!

I would agree that there are probably more parts to the file needed. "Unexpected end of archive" means that it got to the end of the file before it intended to and freaked out, in common parlance. Just throwing in my minimal tech knowledge 2 cents in...
