CRC errors with Zip archives
This is a discussion about CRC errors with Zip archives in the Windows Software category; Hi, I know this isn't stricly a Win2K problem, but since I'm running Win2k. . . Anyhow, I downloaded a zip file that spans multiple volumes. When I try to extract the files from the Zip, I get the following message: Please insert disk number 1 of the spanned Zip file into drive C:.
Hi,
I know this isn't stricly a Win2K problem, but since I'm running Win2k...
Anyhow, I downloaded a zip file that spans multiple volumes. When I try to extract the files from the Zip, I get the following message:
"Please insert disk number 1 of the spanned Zip file into drive C:.".
When I click "OK", I get another message:
"The diskette in drive C: is labeled "Win2K", WinZip expected "PKBACK#001". Do you want to use it anyway"?
Now, when I click "yes", I get yet another error message:
"Error in file #1: Bad Zip file offset (Error local header signature not found): disk #1 offset:4."
Anybody have an idea what this means? Could the files have been damaged during download? I have tried downloading some of the files again, but I always get the same error. Is there a way to fix Zip files? I tried PKZipFix for dos, and that tried fixing the files but nothing really changed.
Thanks for any help,
Andy

Are these files all under 1.44 meg? If so , I beleive that you need to copy each of them to individual floppies with the volume names of the floppy something like pkback#001, pkback#002 etc. What it seems to be is a single file zipped so as to span multiple floppy disks, you d/loaded each file and now you need to put them back onto floppies.

Nope, the files are about 50mb each. I guess they were made using a zip drive or something. I guess the files are damaged somehow. I know that Winzip may require me to copy the back to disks, but WinAce should be able to uncompress multiple volumes.
