Question

I've downloaded some files with .par extensions from Kazaa and then wondered how to get them back into one file - I'm assuming that they go back into a cd image file... DOH at me

Does anybody know what I need to "stitch" them back together?

Nero doesn't seem to import this type of file

Ta in advance...

PAR files are parity files, used to help reconstruct corrupted files downloaded separately. PAR files don't contain any files themselves. Eg you download 50 RAR files and one is corrupted, so you can use the PAR files to repair them.

To use them, use FSRaid
