How to open R27 file?
The main problem with Norton Ghost Rar is that the R27 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that R27 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R27 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 Ghost
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Norton Ghost is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Norton Ghost into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file R27.
Programs to open R27 file
Remember to download programs supporting R27 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Ghost with R27 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the R27 file still does not use the Norton Ghost program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Norton Ghost application as the default for handling the R27 file.
Step 3. Update Norton Ghost to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Norton Ghost program, it is possible that Norton Ghost Rar requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Symantec Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R27 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The R27 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the R27 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file R27 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected R27 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 R27 files changes over time. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair R27 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted R27 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the R27 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the R27 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the R27 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
