| Split Multi-volume RAR Compressed File Archive (part 3) | RARLAB | Compressed Files |
The .R01 file is a type of Split Archive Part 1 file, created with the WinRAR compression and archiving utility, which is manufactured by RARLAB. This form of file is specifically used for large files, too big to fit into a single WinRAR archive. It can be identified by its .R01 extension and can only be opened by using the WinRAR application and selecting File > Open Archive.
Features of an R01 Part File
When an R01 Split Archive Part 1 is created, it enables data to be divided into the specified number of parts, each part having the same base name but different extensions. Each file part will include a defined segment of current data in the singular RAR archive..R00, .R01, .R02, etc.) file parts. It supports recovery records associated with multi-volume sets and is associated with multiple data types such as audio, video, executable files and images. Other similar file extensions are .001, .rar, .7z among many others.
Opening an R01 File
As an archive file format, users will need a proprietary tool like WinRAR or 7-Zip to access different components or fully explore the archive's contents. To open an .R01 file the user must first select any single part of that archive and configure the application to extract its contents from all associated parts. In some cases users can enter the wrong password for a WinRAR archive multiple times and receive an error report about broken volumes. This will inform the user that they are dealing with a split set.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .R01) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .R01 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .R01 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .R01 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .R01 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .R01 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .R01 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .R01 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .R01 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .R01 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
