How to open PNSD file?
The main problem with Norton Speed Disk is that the PNSD file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open PNSD, 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 PNSD 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 Norton Utilities
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Norton Utilities is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Norton Utilities in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PNSD with Norton Utilities. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PNSD files.
Programs to open PNSD file
Remember to download programs supporting PNSD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Utilities with PNSD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PNSD file still does not use the Norton Utilities program, it means no association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PNSD file with the Norton Utilities application.
Step 3. Update Norton Utilities to the latest version
If, however, after binding Norton Utilities with Norton Speed Disk there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Symantec Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PNSD 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 PNSD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PNSD 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PNSD or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PNSD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PNSD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PNSD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Symantec Corporation, 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 file PNSD 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 PNSD file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 PNSD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
