MGadAllah Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Sorry for that questionI feel that you will say that I'm goofy to ask it or for not know how to do itbutI do not know how to delete some folders from an archive I need to delete these folders and use the archive after the delete commandI searched the help for 7-zip and winrarbut did not find the solutionevery time I get a message telling that:Not Implementedso can help me with that and tell me how?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Which format is the archive?If it is a .rar file, 7zip should NOT be able to do it, as it has ONLY UNRAR capabilities.Deleting a file from a .rar file means actually re-creating the file WITHOUT the deleted file(s), though the operation is transparent to the user.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda43 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 From here, it looks like you're going about it all wrong.(of course, I could be wrong) Extract the whole file to a folder on your PC, of your choice.Take the part of it you want and save to a permanent folder on your hard drive or burn it to a CD and discard the rest.Job done and you'll have a permanent copy of the drivers you need.

noguru Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 The defaults are fine, you can choose the 7z format instead of common zip for higher compression. But zip is easier if you ask me cos its more compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
