    Problem with extracting a large file pls help.


    I cant exract a 5gb .bin file from a zip file on my 4gb ram pc. I suspect it is because of my low ram. It shows ''Something is keeping you from copying the file''. If problem is my ram can I do anything to get around the problem.

    :)

    Extracting Zip Files


    Are the step-by-step processes identical? That is, the folder extracted from and the folder extracted to belong to the same hierarchical file system structure. If they are, that suggests mildly the Cumulative Update left an electron or two out of place.

    Extracting Zip Files


    Thanks pyramid10 for your contribution, I ensured that the steps taken and the source and destination folders were the same, in the using zip7 as suggested by BunnyJ resolved all issues for me.
    I am the first to admit that I am a long long way from understanding the intricacies of computers and if truth be told I am now to old anyway to absorb much information.
    Cheers.

    Problem with extracting a large file pls help.

    large zip file does not extract properly

    Thanks for the suggestions Babu but ........

    Tried clean boot - extraction fails

    Start up in safe mode - extraction fails

    The extraction feature works fine on small zip files but clearly gets severe indigestion when faced with an 11gb zip file. 7 zip works perfectly.

    The memory load during windows extraction attempts does not change from base levels, but the hard drive is really working hard. On one occasion after 15 minutes th windows extraction program did attempt to show the extracted files screen with a folder with
    the name of the folder being extracted but on clicking that to see any enclosed files it crashes , screen goes black briefly and it resets to the normal windows desktop view.
