How to open AD1 file?
An often recurring problem with Forensic Toolkit FTK Imager Image is that AD1 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open AD1, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AD1 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Forensic Toolkit
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Forensic Toolkit is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Forensic Toolkit into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open AD1 files.
Programs to open AD1 file
Remember to download programs supporting AD1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Forensic Toolkit with AD1 files
If, despite the installed application, the AD1 file does not start in the Forensic Toolkit application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AD1 file with the Forensic Toolkit application.
Step 3. Update Forensic Toolkit to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Forensic Toolkit program, it is possible that Forensic Toolkit FTK Imager Image requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the AccessData Group, LLC. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AD1 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to AD1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AD1 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AD1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AD1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AD1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact AccessData Group, LLC.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AD1 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the AD1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AD1 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AD1 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
