How to use Winrar?? <Bin files> what is that?

[gredodenda]

OK, I got this software from someone and I don't know how. It is in rar extension so I extracted to a folder, but then there are files that have bin extension. I opended each of them and they all have same bin file format and same file name.

How can do this? I have seen this bin file format, but I do not know how to work with it.

Please help to combine many bin files to one file? is this the right way to make it work??

How can I install the software???

Thanks so much

You should also have a CUE file with that too.

A bin & cue is a cdrwin cd image that you can burn to a blank cd.

There are also programs that allow you to extract the contents of a bin file ( Isobuster).

You can also mount the image without burning using Daemon tools.

normally when extracted all the bin files should join and create one big .BIN file which is usually an ISO image that is meant to be burned

Alot of burning programs will allow you to burn .bin files to cd. Cdrwin is a good program that you can use to make and burn them and Nero will also burn .bin files but like it was stated, you need a .cue file to load the binary file.

just use winrar to extract the .001 or .rar file.
You should get a big .bin and .cue

If you don't have the .cue
you can use newest nero
burn image file, point directly at the .bin, and it will auto recognize the format and burn the image into cd.
I am not 100% nero can do that, but i know Fireburner will for sure.

Thanks for your help! but I still have questions...

Ok, I see that I have on file with .rar extention and .r00 to .r19.

They all have .cue and .bin files inside. Do I have to burn each files into a CD? then I have to make 20 Cds????

I opened a .rar file and extracted .bin and .cue file, but what about the other .r00 ~ .r19 files??

Please help me again

thanks all

There are so much to learn !!!

winrar is an archiving program that can archive/store BIG files into multiple chunks. for example a 650 Meg file can be stored/compressed into 13 x 50 Meg chunks but once uncompressed it would contain 1 x 650 meg file.

For example, the file would start with

- filename.rar (50 Megs)
- filename.r00 (50 Megs)
- filename.r01 (50 Megs)
upto
- filename.r11 (50 Megs)

Select the -filename.rar and right click on it and choose to decompress it. or open winrar and select the file to decompress. Once you start to decompress the RAR file it will move on to the R00 and R01 ..... R19 and so on and MERGE all those 50 meg (or whatever size they are) chunks into one big file. Every R** file in the series will show the same stored information.

What you probably have is one .BIN file and one .CUE file. - Start Nero and cancel wizard - Go to File Burn Image - Change 'Files of Type' to All Files and select the .cue file you would
like to burn - You will see the Nero Wizard and you have the option of choosing Test, Test & Burn, or Burn. You can also choose the write speed and check 'create image'.

BIN CUE files were made to be burned with CDRWin or Fireburner. Later versions of Nero can also burn BIN files if they are not to complicated.
