The Ultimate Guide To .rar, .r01, And .001 Files

The Ultimate Guide to .rar, .r01, and .001 files

OK, so you downloaded a game or a movie and all you got are a bunch of files with any of the extensions above? Here's what you have to do:

1. Goto RarLabs (http://www.rarlabs.com) or RarSoft (http://www.rarsoft.com) and grab WinRAR, a file-compressing utility. If you've heard of WinZip, this is practically the same but with better compression ratio and a different format (RAR).

2. Install WinRAR with SHELL support

3. Right click the first file you have in the folder (either if its a .rar, a .r01, or a .001) and click "Extract to <name-of-the-file>&#092;". If .001 files dont have this option in its right-click menu, double-click the file and then "Select a program from a list". If WinRAR isnt on that list already, click browse and go to C:&#092;Program Files&#092;WinRAR (or wherever you installed it) and select WinRAR. After that, Extract the files to a new folder.

4. After this, the new folder would hold either the bin/cue or the iso or the movies. If its a bin/cue or iso, you should burn it with Nero or mount it with Alcohol 120%/Daemon Tools. Check the pinned topics for that.

NOTE: If you want to check the integrity of all the downloaded files, and with the bunch of files there is a .sfv file, grab yourself QuickSFV (http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Mouse/4668/), a utility that helps you check that every file you downloaded isn&#39;t corrupt.

Hope this helps.... just made it cuz i saw lotsa ppl asking this lately.
w0rd up... keep p2p alive :)

good job

and just to add
if you get a tar file you need to open it with winrar to extract the rar files
then you need to open the rar files with winrar to extract the file

[Monkeee]

should be good for n000bies :)

[DWk]

just a grain of sand in the contribution to the world :)
B)

[Skillian]

Worthy of a pin I reckon. B)

If it does get pinned I would add a link to the appropriate topic when you mention mounting images with Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools.

Good job.

:lol: yea asked lamsey but he said there are 2 much pinned topics lol

[Skillian]

Makes sense, there are a lot in here. The Bittorrent section would be the wrong place I suppose, but that does seem to be where all the .001 questions come up.

[Captain Nemo]

Nice guide, I will link any related question&#39;s to this thread for sure, not that I really help around here,.. I mostly lurk :ph34r:

[Marius24]

v nice DWK well done :)

[abu_has_the_power]

good work dwk. thing is ur only addressing one thing in this thread. there are other files besides .001 files that are split. but still good work

[DWk]

i only made it for these file formats because, besides of being the most common, people have been asking for this issue lately :)

[h121589]

do i extract the .bin or .cue???

[DWk]

both :)

[h121589]

and do i jus extract the .001 or all of the .000

[DWk]

just extract your first file (.001 or .000) and itll extract the rest automatically :)

this should be made into a sticky
lamsey said tehre are 2 many pinned topics... so im bumping it like crazy so it stays up lol [/b][/quote]
yeah there are a lot. I rember when there were only 2-3 pins at the most per a topic and they were mostly FAQ ones.

[D4rK0Soul]

it would be better if it was more like winzip.

[DWk]

i used winzip at first (i think from like version 2 or 3....cant remember), but then i switched to winrar and never came back. WinRar is by far the best program for this matters.... its fast, reliable, and can use the .rar format to compress better than .zip, not to mention its support for a lot of formats (including .tar, .ace, even .iso)

[neevakee]

i like winrar, but everybody has there favorite unzip progragm. But like you DWK i feel winrar is the best what version are you using

[neevakee]

im on 3.00 do you think it is worth the change

[DWk]

nice guide DWK :frusty: (closest to a bump smilie)

:sneaky1:

[neevakee]

most games of my are bins/ues in the .rar .ra01 format.

[pol]

:D

it wont get locked (some of it will be lost tho&#39; :P), will sort out something with the stickies in the next day or 2, maybe merge some of the image/archive guides etc etc







*bump*

[neevakee]

couldnt the proxys be moved to internetworld?

[pol]

yup, (but was going to pm all those that started the topics before anything was done) :D

i understand people are very sentimental to their stickys. I&#39;ve only seen one go with almost no one saying a word (matrix reloaded).

[bossyboy]

Thanks DWK&#33; :D

Just one more question.

I DL a file which has 4 disks... and I was told to extract all 4 disks (which I did and then becomes a bin. file.) But then was told to burn it on to one DVD disk...
How do I do that?

Please help.

Bossyboy

[DWk]

what game is it? or movie?

did it extract into FOUR bins/cues or just one big bin/cue?

[bossyboy]

sorry for the late reply :rolleyes:

I downloaded truecrimes which was 4 disks and became 4 bin and cues (had to add the file extensions)

and Lord of the rings return of the king (can be found on suprnova under PS2 games) which was 3 disks, when extracted 3 bin and cues (didnt need to add extension name)

[DWk]

you have to burn em separately.....

or mount them with Alcohol or Daemon Tools..... check the "pinned" topics :)

[bossyboy]

Great&#33;
So I just need to get CDRWIN and mount all for images&#33;?

Anyway first I will get myself a copy of CDRWIN&#33;

Also what what you recommend as the best burning software?
I have nero 6.3.2 now..... but then I will need CDRWIN touse when I want to mount images... what do you think of Achol 120%?

Thanks&#33; :D

P.S. if I burn them seperately... will each disk work on my ps2?

[bossyboy]

I just installed Alcohol 120% 1.4.8 and I dont know how to mount....

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :frusty:

Oh you won&#39;t let it go - I&#39;ve used it for 3 years or something and never liked something else (and I did try the other software).

WinRAR is faster and more reliable :)

[peat moss]

DW is it free like winzip? Or do I need a crack?

[DWk]

Winzip was never free if I recall correctly. It isn&#39;t free yet.

[sharedholder]

BUMP FOR DWK :)

Then they should remove the old pinned and make some speace for nwe ones ;)
Not exactly - here&#39;s my idea.

Merge all the cd images topics (those are 3&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;) and move Proxy Servers topic into Internetworld.

No nag screen at startup, the same as WinRAR.

However, I consider winzip&#39;s screen more naggy than winrar&#39;s :rolleyes:
