Found 2 new command line apps to extract & recompress the CAB files without using powerarchiver, testing them & will inform if it works & does not corrupt the files, keeping the MD5 in tact.. the problem is that the CAB files are multi-volume (Data1.cab & Data11.cab) Data1 extends to Data11, and not many apps can extract multi-volume cab files, powerarchiver could extract multi-volume, but I think that is what corrupted them, I found another command line app that i think might work. Lets see what happens

Winzip/Winrar extracts multivolume CABS for me without problems. I've always used CABARC with LZX:21 compression and not yet had any CRC errors?

I do things slightly different to most people, I use Winzips 'View > Sort > by Original Order' option to view the CAB file list as they were originally created then I print it out via M$ Offices Document Imaging printer driver and copy/paste the filenames to my 'list.txt' file then use CABARC! If the filenames are too long I print out in Landscape mode instead. Not once had a problem doing it that way, more steps involved but it works for me!
