How to open V2I file?
An often recurring problem with Norton Ghost Virtual Volume Image is that V2I is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open V2I, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the V2I 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Norton Ghost program installed. This can be achieved by typing Norton Ghost into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file V2I.
Programs to open V2I file
Remember to download programs supporting V2I files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Ghost with V2I files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the V2I file still does not use the Norton Ghost program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the V2I file with the Norton Ghost program.
Step 3. Update Norton Ghost to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Norton Ghost program with the Norton Ghost Virtual Volume Image file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Symantec Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the V2I 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the V2I file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our V2I file. Sometimes virus-infected V2I files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of V2I 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.
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 V2I files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Symantec
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted V2I files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move V2I to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file V2I to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the V2I file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
