What is I04 file?
The file in the I04 format belongs to the Disk Image Files category. It was designed by Freeware. Disk Image Files consists of 203 similar files. Split Disk Image is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Alcohol 120%. This was created by Alcohol Soft. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs. ImgBurn, DVD Decrypter will apply when it is not possible to use Alcohol 120%.
How to open I04 file?
The most common problem when using Split Disk Image is that a specific I04 is not associated with the program. This causes the file I04 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the I04 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 Alcohol 120%
The first step is to check if the computer has the Alcohol 120% program installed. This can be achieved by typing Alcohol 120% into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support I04 files.
Programs to open I04 file
Remember to download programs supporting I04 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Alcohol 120% with I04 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the I04 file still does not use the Alcohol 120% program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Alcohol 120% application as the default for handling the I04 file.
Step 3. Update Alcohol 120% to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Alcohol 120% program, it is possible that Split Disk Image requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Alcohol Soft website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the I04 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The I04 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to I04 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file I04 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected I04 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of I04 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair I04 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Freeware, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted I04 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move I04 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the I04 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file I04 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the I04 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
