    Winrar

    Chances are that the files are corrupted, is there an error message?

    Peace,

    You could try tar for windows: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tar.htm

    How did you split your tars ?

    I can open the first file (the *.tar.aa) w/ winrar
    but unlike rar/zip part, it won't extract the file from 2nd part and the rest
    and end up w/ corrupted message

    I use this command to split

    split -b 10m Filename.tar Filename.tar.
    and the result is Filename.tar.aa - tar.ac and so on

    that software is based on command line...
    I don't understand how to do it >_< (sorry I'm really bad with this command line stuff)

    is there no GUI based software that can do it? (just uncompressed it)

    oh no... I'm doomed

    anyway is there another way to split tar compression file just like zip/rar splitter?
    so it can be extracted as easy compressed w/ winrar or winzip?

    If you already split file using ''split'' command , just join them using ''cat'' command then unpack file.

    cat file1 file2 >> file3

    You can create multi-volume tar. man tar, and then lookup -M option.

    If you used "split" to split file you need "cat" to make it one again. In windows you can use "copy" to do that

    copy filename.aa \B + filename.ab \B + filename.ac \B complete_file.rar
