I have a folder called "CD1" and it has a bunch of files all ending in numbers, like this: file.001, file.002, etc. and there is one file that ends in
.sfv. Where d I go from here? Normally these are winrar archives, but not this one?? ANyone have a clue?

that's what i use to join files that have a numerical extension like you've described.

I did google, OK and it only explained what an .sfv fie is.
It didn't explain how to join them up.

Jack, Sounds like you need the program WinRAR. WinRAR will unzip those files into 1 file for you. After installing WinRAR open the file with the extension of .001 with WinRAR and extract. WinRAR will extract the information from all of the files into one file. Many times people will break up files into 27 or so pieces to make it easier to download.

Oh, and you don't even need to worry about the .sfv file. It's basically useless and only is used to verify the information is intact from all of the smaller files. You need a program to open it up anyways so don't worry about it.

now I'm really confused. I used HJSplit to put all the files together, but now I have two large files, with no extention to them. I know one is for CD#1 and one is for CD#2, but since the file name has no extention, how do I open it? I tried loading it with Clone CD's Virtual Drive, but it didnt work. ANyone have any ideas?
