Windows XP Pro + SP2 built in ZIP function error

L

LV System

Hello folks,

I searched the web for 4 hours and found no clue. So maybe someone here got
an ideal.

I used Windows XP Pro + SP2 to zip up a bunch of files.
Now I want to extract them. Some files and folders extract OK while others
do not.
The error is by the explorer copy/move function is: The file exists
I assure you it does not exists!!
Tried on same drive or to extract to another drive. Same error.
Reboot and try --> same error
Copied zip to drive to and try to extract to drive 1 -- same error
Tried drag and drop and copy and paste also -- same error
Error is always on same folders/files.

There is plenty of room on drives (drive 1 = 13GB free, Drive 2 = 67GB free)

I never had a corrupted file on either drive, and still have no file
corruptions on the system.
I did the zipping to 7 huge zips, out of which only 2 gives the problem.
I am leaning to a corrupt file, is there any way that Windows created a
corrupt zip and
now it can't unzip it? Is there a Windows zip bug?

Thank you for any ideals you may have.

I'm sorry, I don't understand exactly what it is that you're asking about.

You started off by writing that "Some files and folders extract OK while
others do not." So is that your question - how to extract the rest of
the files and folders in the archive?

If so, what type(s) of files and folders are not unzipping? What exactly
happens when you try to extract them? Are there any error messages? Do
the files/folders unzip with a third-party unzipper?

Then you go on to write "The error is by the explorer copy/move
function..." What does that have to do with extracting files and folders
from an archive?
