The D01 file extension is associated with VirtualDrive Pro, a disc imaging program for Microsoft Windows users by FarStone Technology. This software permits users to create an exact image of a data CD or DVD, enabling them to store the CD or DVD contents on their hard disk drive and access the digital image without having to insert the disc into an optical drive. Disc images created with VirtualDrive Pro are typically saved with the D01 extension.
D01 files are archive images of compact discs (CD) and digital video discs (DVD). Using VirtualDrive Pro, a user can mount a virtual drive on which their CD/DVD contents have been stored, and then access the contents without actually having the physical disc in hand. This eliminates the need for numerous external drives or fixed optical drives. Such virtual drives also permit interoperability between platforms, such as DOS and Windows, as well as other operating systems such as Linux.
Similar File Extensions
Other disc image file extensions used by VirtualDrive Pro include ISO, B5T, B6T, and C2D.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .D01) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .D01 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .D01 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .D01 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .D01 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .D01 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .D01 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .D01 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .D01 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .D01 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
