How to open R01 file?
An often recurring problem with WinRAR Split Archive Part 1 is that R01 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file R01 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 R01 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 RARLAB RAR
The first step is to check if the computer has the RARLAB RAR program installed. To do this, enter the name RARLAB RAR into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open R01 files.
Programs to open R01 file
Remember to download programs supporting R01 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RARLAB RAR with R01 files
If, despite the installed application, the R01 file does not start in the RARLAB RAR 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the R01 file with the RARLAB RAR program.
Step 3. Update RARLAB RAR to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RARLAB RAR program, it is possible that WinRAR Split Archive Part 1 requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R01 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The R01 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to R01 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file R01 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected R01 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of R01 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged R01 files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted R01 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 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 R01 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the R01 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 R01 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the R01 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
