@a1ex and/or g3gg0: For some reason raw2dng.exe doesn't give any hints about it's version, date. That's rather inconvinient. Would be better to wrap it up into a zip. At least it will give a date then ...

Q2. Where are you RAW files located? Local disc with NTFS?

Press Windows key and e key together. Right click on the drive where raw2dng.exe is located. Open "Properties". Look for file system.

Q4. Error messages?
A4. when I move RAW file to RAW2DNG open DOS windows and close direct only that without Error message.

Record this with your cam and look for an error message.
Or copy your RAW into the directory where RAW2DNG.exe is located, open a command prompt there and type
raw2dng yourfilename.raw
and hit Enter key.

Are you missing some .R00, .R01, .R02, etc. files? You need to include these files for RAW2DNG to be able to convert your files (The RAW format uses a "footer" to store the info it needs to be able to properly convert the files, this is only at the end of the very last file, so if you are missing the last file or it is corrupted, it wont convert. The MLV format is a more robust format that alleviates potential issues like this by including metadata in every chunk file, and so I highly recommend using it instead).

ML automatically splits files when they reach 4GB b/c some filesystems don't support files larger than 4GB. Once 4GB is reached, ML will start writing into .R00, and so on and so forth.
