.mds, .mdf = comment les dézipper ? Solved

Question

Hello everyone, so here it is, I found something to download on an FTP, but for the same thing, there were 48 zip files, so I downloaded it... I open the first one and I get 2 files .mds and .mdf, the .mds is only in one of the 48 zip files while in the others I only get the .mdf file.  I’m getting ready to unzip it (with WinRAR) and it tells me: the archive is in an unknown format or is damaged.  However, I can decompress the .mds file.   What should I do?!   Thanks in advance.

MDF and MDS are not compression formats... they are formats that allow you to store CD images...  You can burn them with Alcohol120% for example or read the images with a software called Deamon Tool that allows you to create virtual CD drives!  There you go, it's as simple as that!  -- Thai Proverb: Penguins in the fields,                                          very harsh winter.

I know Deamon, but that's not my problem; my problem is that I can't unzip the .rar file that contains my .mdf files.

Actually, the thing I'm downloading is split into a bunch of zip files that contain .mdf files that I can't extract   I don't know if that's clear!

Uh, which version of WinRAR do you have? That can happen sometimes when you don't have the latest version (or rather, if the archive was compressed with a version that's a bit too recent compared to yours...) -- Thai Proverb: Penguins in the fields,                                          very harsh winter.

And the archive is not simply corrupted? -- Thai Proverb: Penguins in the fields,                                          very harsh winter.

Try to re-download -- Thai Proverb: Penguins in the fields,                                          very cruel winter.

lerou · Answer

it won't change anything I think because I have the same problem with the 48 zip ... but I will try my luck but you don't have to use anything special to decompress the .mdf simply?

Kermitt31 · Answer

no it's not the .mdf that you decompress but the .rar or .zip that you downloaded... winamp doesn't care about the content of the archive, it decompresses it and that's it... after the result you should have your files. But the format of the files contained in the archive is transparent to winrar -- Thai Proverb: Penguins in the fields,                                          very harsh winter.

Okay, thank you, and it must be because my files are corrupted since I just downloaded another one and unzipped it (just in case), and it doesn't work either.   Thank you for your help.

Install QuickZip, I encountered the same problem and with QuickZip I was able to unzip it, then you use Daemon Tool to read the files....

Hello, I have another problem, the computer is still asking for the original CD. I don't understand.

mitchoxv3 · Answer

You open it with Alcohol (you search for the file and then create an image with it).

Hi everyone, I have a problem, I expired my alcohol license ^^ and I don't know how to mount mds and mdf files on virtual drives... does it work with daemon tools?

I would like to know if I need to burn both the MDS and MDF files onto the CD for it to work because I converted the MDF file to ISO and burned my game CD. The PlayStation logo appears, and then nothing!!! What should I do with the MDS file??? Thank you for your help, I'm struggling.

Hi everyone, I have an answer for unzipping an MDF or MDS file. Go to the website:
https://www.clubic.com/telecharger-fiche11016-alcohol-120.html
Download it and install it, then go to the file, right-click and select "mount an image", then go to "the disk drives" which can be found in 'This PC' and copy everything and paste it into a folder. That's it! If you want to contact me: kamel1461995@hotmail.fr
