What is PD1 file?
The file in the PD1 format belongs to the Misc Files category. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. DFSee Partition Data Format is supported by 1 operating systems.

How to open PD1 file?
An often recurring problem with DFSee Partition Data Format is that PD1 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open PD1, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PD1 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 DFSee
In this case, you should first verify that the DFSee application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DFSee into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PD1 with DFSee. Below is a list of programs that support the file PD1.
Programs to open PD1 file
Remember to download programs supporting PD1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DFSee with PD1 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PD1 file to open in the DFSee 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 DFSee application as the default for handling the PD1 file.
Step 3. Update DFSee to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DFSee program with the DFSee Partition Data Format 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 Jan van Wijk website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PD1 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PD1 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PD1 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PD1 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 PD1 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PD1 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PD1 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the PD1 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PD1 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 PD1 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PD1 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
