Rar Repair Trick 

Ever Get frustrated When Rars are missing their first part, rending them useless? Here's a little trick to salvage the remaining parts.

  1. Copy the first part of another Rar in the set to another directory—ie; Missing part 1 of Rar 3 so copy part 1 of rar 4.
  2. rename it to the missing rar—ie: x.part4.rar.01.20.BBT to x.part3.rar.01.20.BBT.
  3. using a hex editor, open the renamed rar and, right a the beginning of the file is the rar's name in 2 places. Change to new name —ie:r.04 to r.03.
  4. If the rars were numbered ie: 04/89—in the uploaded headers, you must also correct this number—ie:04/89 to 03/89.
  5. Save the file and move it to the original folder.
  6. You can now join all the parts to salvage the remaining blks.

Hpoe this helps,
