View Full Version : CRC failed when extraction is at 100% (every game, not just one)
ok, so got rid of idrive (they can #### themselves), and got a buncha games, SfRush2049, Silent Scope, Sega Marine Fishing, all are selfboot, which i haven't done before. but, when i extract the .001 files, i get CRC failed at the very end of extraction, on every game, it is the same file size. also, when i run winrar, i get failures in like .011, or .020, etc. but when i run power archiver, i do not get any fails in files, just a failure at the end...i'm stumped, haven't burned a dc game in months don't really like the selfboot idea, but ah well
ps: this server goin slow?

If a damaged archive does not contain a recovery record or if the archive cannot be completely recovered due to severe damage, a second stage is begun. During this stage only the archive structure is reconstructed and it is impossible to recover files which fail CRC validation, but it is still possible to recover undamaged files which were inaccessible due to a corrupt archive structure. Generally this is useful for non-solid archives. In a damaged solid archive, often, only the first file may be recovered during the second stage.
in simple terms..it means that you have some bad files that got messed up during download..
the CRC is for the recovery of a file if that fails then you cannot repair the needed files...
the other program doesnt deal with repairs, but sees that the files are bad and wont finish unpacking....
that's what i've been told...just keep downloading the corrupt files until i'm good to go then?

yeah...just look at win rar and see which files are bad, then go get those files again...
