How to open D01 file?
An often recurring problem with VirtualDrive Disc Image Part 2 Format is that D01 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file D01 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the D01 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 VirtualDrive
In this case, you should first verify that the VirtualDrive application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing VirtualDrive into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file D01 with VirtualDrive. Below you will find a list of applications that support D01 files.
Programs to open D01 file
Remember to download programs supporting D01 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VirtualDrive with D01 files
If, despite the installed application, the D01 file does not start in the VirtualDrive 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the VirtualDrive application as the default for handling the D01 file.
Step 3. Update VirtualDrive to the latest version
If, however, after binding VirtualDrive with VirtualDrive Disc Image Part 2 Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the FarStone Technology, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the D01 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The D01 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the D01 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the D01 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected D01 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the D01 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular D01 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact FarStone Technology
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted D01 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the D01 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file D01 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the D01 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
