That much is obvious. The question is why.
Which version of 7-Zip are you running, and what version of Windows? I have 7-Zip 4.57, the current release, under Windows XP Pro SP2.
Also, do you have "Hide extensions for known file types" turned on? (Tools/Folder Options/View - "Hide extensions for known files types" should
not be checked.)
I think the problem may be that you didn't successfully rename the two zip files. They should
not have a Zip extension. The extensions should be .001 and .002. If "Hide extensions for known file types" is checked, you won't see the .zip extension and may not realize they weren't properly renamed.
Also, 7-Zip needs to be registered as the default handler for files with a .001 extension. Right-click on the .001 file, and it will recognize it is the first part of a multi-part archive, and transparently combine the parts and extract the file from the combined archive.
