Compressed files...

After I compress a folder, delete the original?

Hi Raminreno,

1. what software do you use to compress the folder?
2. the problem occurs with any particular file or all the files?
3 are you facing problems with file compression?

The original folder is deleted. Instead a new compressed folder will be created with the same name.

  • Satellite A100 - 147 Compression file error with the product recovery disc

    I have Toshiba A100-147, just out of warranty. I tried to recover with a disk, disk unpack to 69% and then I get the message "ERROR READING OF COMPRESSION FILE (1). I have no choice but to click OK in the error message box, and then quit the recovery as she stops running.

    Any help would be extremely welcome.

    Hello

    It looks like a problem with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    Have you tried to repeat this procedure?

    What of the HARD drive? You format the HARD drive using an original CD of XP MS?
    It s very interesting if a format of HARD drive could allows to perform the installation of the OS since the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    I remember that something like this has happened on my laptop s friend was not able to recover the operating system using the Toshiba CD. Finally, we found that some sectors on the HARD disk has been corrupted. Format drive HARD allowed integer and my friend was able to install the image of Toshiba.
    It's worth a try ;)

    But of course, this error could occur because of the faulty recovery CD.

  • You can compress files saved to the backup profile?

    I'm saving up several Firefox profile for the backup folders, some are simple copies of the profiles, some are created via the FEBE extension: since they take up much space, can I compress with a program like 7zip saying? They will be usable?

    FEBE backups are already compressed. In a FEBE folder, right-click on a file and click to open (extension .fbu) with 7zip (choose 7zip > open archive); you will see the size and packed size. If 7zip is not on your system, right-click menu shortcut, open the program 7zip, click Tools > Options, check your settings on the tab of 7zip. (Extensions) as files are already compressed also. Saving by re - compress files would be probably minimal, if any. It might be more advantageous compensation large image files or a movie or some other items from your disk (delete or backup on CD/DVD).

  • Compressing files with local characters

    Hello community,

    I will compress files with LabVIEW, but the names of files in the zipfiles be annoying especially since I use English characters such as 'a', 'e' etc. If I zip outside labview then the file names are very well, then I guess it's a thing of labview. Can you help me how can I compress these filenames correctly? Remove / change the file names is not an option.

    Thank you!

    The code that I currently use:

    1984 wrote:

    I checked the document briefly before I sent my post. I sent the UseUnicode = True, it makes no difference. anyway I don't think it's really applicable according to the case that the problem lies in the file add to zipfile.vi which is password protected. Access roads entering this VI have filenames with the correct characters.

    There is no easy way to solve this problem. The zlib library and actually really library miniZIP to cover that was used for the ZIP implementation in LabVIEW does nothing on the character encoding. ZIP files traditionally use some codepage BACK system used at the time. The code page of BACK, however, is not the same as the ANSI code page using standard Windows GUI applications. If any special character in LabVIEW is passed to the function ZIP and it interpreted as a different character.

    The simplest solution would be to convert filenames to the OEM code page before passing the ZIP function and conversion back from OEM to ANSI when it receives the file names of the functions. New formats ZIP support also the UTF8 encoding, but which is not supported by the serving ZIP support miniZIP library in LabVIEW.

    I had to deal with these issues in the Toolkit OpenG ZIP library and this is something very sensitive and involved, especially considering that it should run on the platforms more than just Windows. For now, I decided to work around this problem and to focus on obtaining a new version of the library, without trying to deal with some of these issues of character encoding.

    My recommendation is really just avoid these characters special altogother for now.

    And I'm not sure that you would gain a lot by calling a command line utility. Unlike the GUI Windows programs, the command line utility also works with the OEM code page and assume that its parameters are in this code page, so you will need to convert special characters in any case before generating the command line string.

  • 7-zip rar files vs. compressed files?

    My question is this. What is the difference between the 7-zip rar files and when I use the selection of compressed file (zipped) on a file? What is the rar files?

    I rarely send zipped files. I used to have WinZip on my old computer. My generic desktop minitower PC has XP Pro, SP3, Office 2003. (In addition, awhile back I upgraded to Office 2007 but found totally lame and went back to 2003). A few reciepents some PDF files of architectural plan say they can not open my files when I send them with 7-zip. Sometimes it is 30-60 page pdf construction plans.

    Please explain.

    It depends on what you mean by "better"?

    I'm looking for a file compression utility that can work with various compressed formats.
    Are you willing to pay for a file compression utility, or do you want a free?
    Looking for a file compression utility that makes smaller files?

    In the end, it basically boils down to personal preference.  Here is a site that claims to have received "more than 500 comments" in order to select the most popular file compression utility: http://lifehacker.com/5065324/five-best-file-compression-tools

    And, if you are interested in self-promotion, here's how 7-zip compares its ability to file with some other compression: http://www.7-zip.org/

    Personally, I'd go with free rather than pay $29 for WinRAR, WinZip or PKZip.  For most people, the ability to built into Windows zip file is sufficient.  If you are likely to get files compressed in a variety of formats, 7-zip is probably the way to go (packing / unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP, and WIM;) Unpacking only: ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DEB, DMG, FAT, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, VHD, WIM, XAR and Z).

  • How to remove the old compressed files? I have over 200,000.

    After being run-up disk cleanup, I show more than 200,000 old compressed files.  How can I remove them?

    You delete a file compressed just the way that you remove any other file, BUT...

    You can't really delete these 'compressed old files.  By default, in Windows XP Disk Cleanup tool will compress files that have not been used for 50 days.  Well, you can keep the files to which you have not accessed in the past two months.

    You can change the disk cleanup period is used to determine if a file is 'old'--> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/make-disk-cleanup-compress-olderor-newer-files-on-xp/

    However, many people (including me) just disable the analysis of "old files" because it is run much faster disk cleanup: see, for example,--> http://www.pctools.com/forum/showthread.php?49060-Disable-Compress-Old-Files-in-Disk-cleanup or http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm straight line 48 (notice that there are two links, one to turn off "compress old files" and the other for him re - allow to) those reg files also change how Disk Cleanup deals by default temporary files - temporary files accessed during the 7 days are not deleted; the first files reg Kelly happening in 0 days and the file "undo" restores the default value of 7 days).

  • How to recover email files lost after compressing files

    I am using windows XP sp3, two days ago, I performed an outlook express file compression process, after only a quick jump

    and asked me to do. Unfortunately, a part of the e-mail files (year 2011) were found missing in the outmail storage box after file compression.

    I think that they were deleted automatically during file compression. Although I found a backup file in the trash, I can't yet recover

    the e-mails lost after recovery.

    For your information: before compressing files - size storage box outmail - abt, 1.2 GB / after compression 827 MB

    MY mailbox: * address email is removed from the privacy *

    It is a common problem with OE because if we let the dbx files grow beyond a few hundred megabytes, they are subject to corruption.  You should do an immediate backup of your messages in the event of further loss.  So, if you have bak files in the trash or in the message store directory, you can try to recover them.

    For references, see points 2, 3, 4 and 6 here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and import the bak files see here: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1 and if you were unable to recover what was lost, then see here: www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/ the latter is able to scan the entire drive for messages and bypassing the file system and if something can get back them It can.

  • Failed to open the compressed files received by e-mail

    After downloading the compressed files by e-mail to the file to My Documents in Windows XP/AOL successfully I can't open them.

  • How can I stop OE 'compress files to free disk space,'

    How can I prevent the notice OE ("compression of files to free up disk space"), constantly arise. I moved the cd, deleted files, shortcuts to files, etc., and I still get this pop up to compress files.  very annoying.   Help

    Have let you compact? Disk space is not recovered until you do. Let compact, you should not see the prompt again for 100 closures of OE. If you see more often, after the return. If not, read this.

    *******************

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact

    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Compacting your folders periodically is a must to keep OE works fine and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you do not. When you delete or move messages, the space they used remains until you compact.

    Never touch anything until the compression is finished.* *.

    See:
    www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    With SP2, Automatic compaction in the background has been removed because of problems he has caused. Now, you will get a prompt to compact after 100 closures of OE, you need to do, and do not touch anything until it's finished. If you compact manually, at your convenience, this will also set the counter to zero. See this for more information:
    http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

    If you are fully patched, you will now see a copy of your dbx files copied to the Recycle Bin as BAK files. If something goes wrong when compacting, the messages can be easily restored from this backup. A compact manual resets also the counter in the back of the registry to zero now.

    For more information, see the information framed in red here:
    www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    To keep things running smooth and harden faster:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. It will eventually become corrupt and you may lose mail. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    And backup often.

  • CRC error on large compressed files (.zip, .rar, .cab, etc...) The installation fails too...

    Hello world

    I have a new Dell computer. It's a Dell Studio 540 with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit, with 1 TG of hard drive and 8 GB of RAM. I have problems with "decompression" of a large number of large compressed files (more than 50 GB). Also, because the files on a DVD are often compressed (in the cab for the majority file), the same error occurred on an installation package. Thus, to resume, I got CRC error on compressed files, while opening the zipper AND my different types of software installation fails with errors of Sami.

    Before you answer, please read my steps below:

    1. I reinstalled Windows Vista 2 times from scratch with a clean format. Whenever I get the same error on the same files even when there is nothing installed (even the drivers are not installed).
    2. I tried to run Windows XP Mini, a very light version of XP is the launch of a CD at startup and run in RAM. The same problem.
    3. I did all kinds of tests of the material myself AND with Dell technical support. Nothing was found, and I'm sure it's 99.9% true. Everything has been tested: RAM, hard drive, processor, motherboard, etc. The Dell technical support told me that my computer is 100% functional and that this error is due to some software (Windows) does not very well with 64-bit processor... Everything works well in my work all day EXCEPT for the decompression of data.
    4. my files are not damaged: they unzip perfectly on other computers. In addition, the program that do not install because of the CRC error with compressed file are all used before on another computer OR are new. I even changed DVD to the store to get a new one and the problem is still there. I also tried to download the torrent from the .iso file and the same problem happened.
    5. the files on my computer are not corrupted by the hard drive. I copy keys usb, directrly on the DVD to the hard drive. All possible tests have been done on the files, and they are ok.
    6. I did all kinds of tests such as checkdisk, spyware, etc... but given that the installation has not helped with it, I don't think it's related.

    My last hope is here... MVP is maybe know a problem in which Windows with zip files. I read a lot of people of the CRC errors, so I'm sure something happens. I am currently with the Dell customer service to get a full refund to buy a new computer without a 64-bit processor because it looks too new for Microsoft.

    So if anyone knows something I could try, tweak, change to help me with my problem please let me know.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello!

    This morning, I realized that I never returned to close this topic. In fact, I work with dell for a number of weeks, talk to like 10 or 15 support technical Member, try something else and you know what works?

    Reinstall windows... But in my case, I have reinstalled windows 2 times before they ask me to do it again. So I did and everything worked perfectly... For the third time is lucky: P in fact, perhaps during the first installation of 2, RAM has not been installed properly or has failed for a second, because every file that has been read has become corrupted, but at the same time, everything is normal on my computer seems to work ok... In addition, it could be the update that I did for my BIOS. So, a good test would be to update your BIOS, shut down your computer, check if the ram is installed ok, restart, verify that your ram is detected.

    After that, reinstall your windows, but DO NOT use the file you had on your "not working version of windows. I lost a lot of backup of the thing on my computer because even put on my new fresh install of windows, these rar did not work. I needed to pick up an old DVD and they worked

    So, I hope this will help!

  • Compressing files for the WinSxS folder

    I wonder why the folder winsxs in Vista and Windows 7 do not use file compression? Due to the nature of the case, it would not affect the performance of the system and would save several gigabytes of disk space.  The only files that can be skipped is the manifest files that are less than 4 KB of size...

    The INF file is very small, I think it wise to use compression for a file on this folder as well :)

    Each regular on NTFS file can be considered be a single 'hardlink' a data element. You can have multiple hard links, which is like having the same file in two places with just the cost of the extra link and not the data. The '. 'and'.. ' directory? A few hard links in the current directory and the directory's parent. WinSxS is full of files that are installed as components, usually of Windows and other Microsoft software. When these recommended "settled" in a given place, what actually happens is that a new link (hard link) is created in the data file. It is one of the reasons why Vista can be installed that on NTFS - it made prolific use of hard links. The physical files has obvious implications - you're not only compressing the installation media, but only copies of the actual files that make up Windows. If you package, part of what you package consists of installed files - or files that you can install later. And Windows (or other applications) do not always provide a compressed file. For example, Vista will choke if you try to install the libraries shared IIS and its XML schema for winsxs files are compressed. They probably check that it still has the read-only attribute and I forgot to allow the presence of other attributes. Personally, I think it's a bug, but whatever it is, there is a risk that you must be aware of. No need to cherish luxuries (cause everythine come and go) even the life you have is borrowed (Cause you are not promised tomorrow)

    A restore to factory wipe the hard clean throughout the process. The only option you have is to use a recovery program to recover files deleted from your hard drive. But I doubt if this will help. If the files were very important, then you can give it a try. Search using your favorite search engine to learn more about third-party data recovery programs.
