How to repair a broken RAR, zip file???


        One spends hours downloading a compressed file only to discover later that the archive cannot be opened.
For Zip File
The professional tool, Disklnternals ZIP Repair, repairs the files; the user has to only select the source directory of the file and then a target directory. Then the program displays all the contents which it can recover and puts them in a new archive. 


If an error comes up (for instance, CRC Error), then the problem is not with the files. Check your main memory for errors with the tool MemTest.


For Rar File
QuickPar: Irons Out The Defects RAR archives are particularly popular in file sharing networks.

Although the packed data is not in one but in several small packets and as soon as one of them is damaged, the entire collection simply doesn't open. Luckily, the archives contain the PAR/PAR2 files which act as checksum for checking the packets.

With the QuickPar tool, open the PAR file in the program and the software takes care of everything else.


Back up your files online for free

        Because you never know when disaster will strike, it's vital to regularly back up your important data. Storing files in the cloud will let you access them from anywhere, and there are plenty of excellent free and paid-for storage services available.

SkyDrive, Microsoft's online storage site (http://skydrive.live.com), offers 25GB for free and has a 50MB per file limit, making it ideal for storing smaller items, such as photos and documents.

ADrive (www.adrive.com) gives you a generous 50GB of free online storage, although certain features, such as the Desktop client and FTP support, are only available to premium users.



 If you only want to back up (and optionally share) your most important files,you should consider getting a Dropbox account (www.dropbox.com). This initially gives 2GB of free storage but you can increase this by performing certain tasks, such as referring friends.
