Unpacking split archives


How do I unpack a split RAR archive? I tried both Ark and unrar, chose the first or the last part of the archive and get the File header broken error.

Should I open only the first part of the archive and all others will be extracted automatically?

Yes, if archive.rar is the first file, you should run:
Code:
unrar x archive.rar
You can also test the archive without extracting using "unrar t"
