Well since this morning I try to save a zip with a lot of files inside.

Does anybody know if it's possible, and which what free tool?

What are you saving it to?

When I save a Zip all I do is "Cut" or "Copy" and then paste it in the destination folder.

I have some large zip files since I always .rar or .zip all of my backups for the site and then I save them in two places in case one place gets corrupted.....

And it's just a matter of cut and paste....

I think she's meaning recover - French is tricky.

Aelin, try WinRar with the option "keep broken files" enabled: in this way if there are only a few defective files all the rest might be recoverable.

It's a program, Howler.

I was sure I saved it on external and usb... but it's only on one usb key

I tried on the 2 computers, in vain.

I see well it's supposed to be more than 39Mo (compressed size). But if I try to look inside, just look, I have also an error message.

LOL...Thanks Chiron. I thought she would know how to do the save trick...

But yes....winrar is the key. That's all I use anymore when zipping....

Does WinRar be free? I found only a 'to buy' version.

Try this, I keep using it since 2005 and if I remember right then it was free.

And let me look deeper in my PC, somewhere I might have Howler too...

I take it that this is a purchased version? Could it be named differently on the external? Or misplaced in a file folder? As careful as I am....I've done that a number of times....and it's always found in one folder above or below the one I intended to save the .rar to.
