So I'm trying to use 7z and zip a file into several smaller parts and I'm not sure it's working? I right click on the file, click add to archive, then select zip as the type. I type 64M in the split to volumes, bytes and it zips them up into 2 files of odd format.

If I right click the 001 file and click open archive I can see everything in it that is in the original file, but the second file 002 won't open. It gives an error saying cannot open file "blah blah" as archive?

The way these programs work is that the first part if the main file and when extracting it uses the second and so on parts to grab the extra files/data.

If you try extracting the first part, you'll find it will access part 2 and get the required info from that file as well.
