How to open XDI file?
The main problem with WinArchiver Extended Disc Image Format is that the XDI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that XDI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XDI 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 WinArchiver
The first step is to check if the computer has the WinArchiver program installed. To do this, enter the name WinArchiver 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 XDI files.
Programs to open XDI file
Remember to download programs supporting XDI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinArchiver with XDI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XDI file to open in the WinArchiver application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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 WinArchiver application as the default for handling the XDI file.
Step 3. Update WinArchiver to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WinArchiver program with the WinArchiver Extended Disc Image 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 WinArchiver Computing, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XDI 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XDI file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XDI file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected XDI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XDI 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XDI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact WinArchiver Computing
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XDI files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the XDI file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the XDI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XDI to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XDI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
