What is NCD file?

The NCD file has been categorized as Disk Image Files. In addition to this file, the Disk Image Files category includes 203 related files. NTI CD-Maker Disk Image is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Nero Multimedia Suite. This was created by Nero AG.

How to open NCD file?

An often recurring problem with NTI CD-Maker Disk Image is that NCD is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NCD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NCD 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 Nero Multimedia Suite

In this case, you should first verify that the Nero Multimedia Suite application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Nero Multimedia Suite in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NCD files.

Step 2. Create association of Nero Multimedia Suite with NCD files

If, despite the installed application, the NCD file does not start in the Nero Multimedia Suite 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NCD file with the Nero Multimedia Suite program.

Step 3. Update Nero Multimedia Suite to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Nero Multimedia Suite program with the NTI CD-Maker Disk Image file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Nero AG website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The NCD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NCD file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NCD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NCD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NCD file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NCD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NCD 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. Copying the NCD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NCD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NCD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
