Getting CRC Error while Extracting the Zip Archive

A zip file is created to compress the size of the file(s) to transfer them quickly and easily over the Internet. A zip archive may contain several files out of which some may be of large size and others of decent or small size.

But, in some cases, the presence of one large sized file in a zip archive may become the reason for zip archive corruption. As a definite consequence, you fail to extract the archive and your data becomes inaccessible. In such situations, a backup may prove a lifesaver as it helps you in restoring the data. But, if the backup fails or is not available, then you need to repair zip file using a powerful third-party file repair application.

The other day, a person came to me, and explained to me the problem that he faced while extracting files from the zip archive -

“I have a zip archive, which I created a few days back. Today, when I tried to unzip the archive, I received the following error message:

“CRC Error”

Oh. and yes, I forgot to tell you that one of the file in the zip archive was I think more than 25 Mb. I am really tensed as the zip archive contained very important files and a lot more. I can offer any amount to retrieve my data. Please help!”

Now, the person needed immediate help as he was unable to extract the zip archive. This issue might have arisen owing to corruption of the file with size more than 25 Mb, which may further cause the zip archive to become corrupt.
This problem called for an immediate solution as the file(s) stored in the archive contained his most important data. So, let us see how the problem got resolved.

Resolution:

Unfortunately, there is no inbuilt utility present in WinZip that can help. Also, attempting to workaround the problem was also not advisable, as it would have made the situation worse and eventually would have led to loss of data.

Therefore, to resolve the issue completely, you should use a third-party zip repair application. A good idea would be to download the demo version of the software to check whether that application would be able to recover data or not. A software that can repair zip file by scanning it and then saving it all without making any changes or modifications in a new file without altering the original file or the original content. Also, you should not face any difficulty or glitches while using these applications as they are very much interactive in nature.
