unable to unarchive
I have been cleaning up files on my laptop, and moved a number of files to my ex hd.
I then created archive files of each one, using File > Create Archive.
All went fine - but when I went back to check each archive file, I found that one file cannot be opened. When I click on the archive file the process seems to run normally almost to the end, at which point I get a dialogue box reading "Unable to unarchive 'filename.zip' into 'foldername'. (Error-1 - Operation not permitted.)
I dragged the file from the ex hd to my laptop desktop and tried it there, but with the same result. Now I have no access to these archived files.
Is there a way to repair this?? The files are stored, but I will need access to them at some point. Recreating this archive would involve a great deal of work downloading copies of every file from a remote server, so I hope that's not necessary. Do I have any options? Can the archive file be repaired??
