An archive file is a container that holds one or more files in them. These archive files are compressed to occupy less space and easy portability. RAR is one of the most commonly used archive formats and WinRAR is used to create and extract these RAR files.
Normally you see RAR files when downloading software or files from the internet. Or you would use RAR to send a large number of files via email. The smaller size helps in transmitting files faster and allows for a faster download.
RAR files are subject to corruption due to various reasons. It is important to note that when RAR files are corrupted, one, multiple or all files within the RAR file may be affected. Let us see some of the common reasons here.
- Errors while creating a RAR file: There could be minor mistakes by the application creating a RAR file. Mistakes can be header inconsistences, incorrect extensions or incorrect data. These will be treated as corruption by the Zip file.
- Transfer error: When you receive files from a third party or when downloading a file from the internet, invalid data may be introduced into the file. This may result in corruption of RAR files.
- Corruption on the drive where files are stored: Errors or bad sectors in the drive where RAR files are stored can cause corruption in RAR files.
- Software errors: Software glitches can and do occur at times. This in some cases can corrupt files.
Corruption can make the entire file inaccessible, so you cannot extract data from the file. Thus repairing the file becomes a priority.
