I have a 76 GB disk image that's split in 28 files (Foo.7z.001
to Foo.7z.028
) in "Storage" format and I want to extract it into my D: drive (which has 523 GB available). I've tried all 7-Zip settings:
... but the software is stubbornly dumping all output into my C: drive (a SSD with only 47 GB left) before (apparently) moving it to final location. Since it's not even smart enough to figure out that 76 won't fit into 47, it runs for half an hour until it freezes with a Not Enough Disk Space error message.
I'm using latest stable version (9.20) which is already 4 years old. Did I misunderstood what "Working folder" stands for? Is it a known issue? Is there a better archiver with 7-Zip support?
Silly question, are the 28 files currently located on the
D:\\
drive prior to being unzipped? – MonkeyZeus – 2014-09-29T20:20:30.367lots of compresses bust out into (system defined) temps. you indicated what drive it breaks out to. Where on the drive did it go? Could be you could put (system defined) temps on a different drive. Depending on what occurs putting temps on a less used drive, could be speedy for other things too using more "hardware" at more locations. Some compresses have been told to keep the existing folder structure, so they finish where the Maker of the compress decided they would go. 7-z works with all manners of compresses, it could be these folder options do not apply to all of the "engines" dlls ? – Psycogeek – 2014-09-30T03:33:42.570
@MonkeyZeus - They were previously on an external USB disk (so D: used to have 523+76 free GB). I moved them later to D:. I'm getting C: filled in both cases. – Álvaro González – 2014-09-30T07:17:03.990
1@Psycogeek - Output goes to
%temp%
(C:\Users\alvaro\AppData\Local\Temp
), I know because I have to remove the temporary file myself when 7-Zip freezes. – Álvaro González – 2014-09-30T07:18:57.730I see, what if you set the choice to "Current" and use the "Extract Here" option while the files are on the
D:\\
drive? – MonkeyZeus – 2014-09-30T12:04:03.537
