Step 2. Create association of Ashampoo Burning Studio with ASHDISK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ASHDISK file to open in the Ashampoo Burning Studio application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here.

It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location.

Step 3. Update Ashampoo Burning Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Ashampoo Burning Studio program, it is possible that Ashampoo Disk Image requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ASHDISK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ASHDISK file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ASHDISK file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ASHDISK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ASHDISK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ASHDISK files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ASHDISK except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 ASHDISK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ASHDISK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ASHDISK file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ASHDISK file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
