I have a Data.zip data file that, among many other folders, contains some .gzip to which I need to have access to.
I have tried to extract the Data.zip file manually and through commands and I always get the same error when it reaches the first .gzip file. "An error has occurred while extracting files".
I have full permission and I have checked the Md5 and everything seems fine.
Ok, to start: What operating system are you running on? What versions of what tools are you using to 'unzip' the zip file? What is the underlying file system? Also, how big is the zip file, and the gzip from within it?
And as an aside: why do you have a zip file containing gzip files?
