What is CCD file?

The file with the extension CCD is the Disk Image Files file type. It was designed by SlySoft. In addition to this file, the Disk Image Files category includes 203 related files. CloneCD Disc Image is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Virtual CD. This was created by H+H Software GmbH. This file type can also be opened by 6 other programs. You can use BlindWrite, IsoBuster, UltraISO, ImgBurn in case Virtual CD cannot be used.

How to open CCD file?

The most common problem when using CloneCD Disc Image is that a specific CCD is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CCD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CCD 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 Virtual CD

The first step is to check if the computer has the Virtual CD program installed. To do this, enter the name Virtual CD into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file CCD.

Step 2. Create association of Virtual CD with CCD files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CCD file still does not use the Virtual CD program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CCD file with the Virtual CD program.

Step 3. Update Virtual CD to the latest version

If, however, after binding Virtual CD with CloneCD Disc Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the H+H Software GmbH website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CCD file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The CCD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CCD file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CCD file. Sometimes virus-infected CCD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CCD files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CCD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SlySoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CCD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move CCD to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CCD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CCD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
