Winrar Help
 
I've acquired some software and it's come in 7 individual large rar files.
How to extract them into one file please?

Can't you extract them THEN put them into one file?

I extracted the first file to my desktop, but the second file wanted to overwrite the first. :confused:

I've never had the need to extract more than one file for the same thing before. So I'm at a loss.

What if I put them all in a temporary file and try to extract to that?

Anyone?...

Do you always right click the file to extract or use the actual programme? Right click is better and then it just dumps it in the same folder I.E My Documents. If you use the actual programme that's when it becomes a pain. Howabout renaming each file to whatever name you choose then extracting? then it should'nt overwrite.

I've got a feeling there's a way of doing this. Maybe those who download movies like this...dunno.

Normally right click and extract to desktop, then drop the file where I want it to go.

There are seven seperate rar files that make up the whole of the software.

If it came from a torrent when you exact the first .rar file it should extract from the other .rar files into 1 perfect file or series of files depending on what type of file you downloaded.

So extracting the first will automatically set off the others?
Do they have to all be contained in a folder before extracting the first?

OK...If I don't start getting answers quick style, I'm going on a banning rampage. :bringit:
