How to open file with .NT extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .NT file? Do you want to convert a .NT file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .NT

Full Name Developer Category
Windows NT Command Script Format Microsoft System Files
.NT

The NT file extension is associated with the Microsoft Windows NT operating system. This file type is a master boot record startup file created by Windows NT. The NT file holds the system settings for booting the computer. Data in this file includes the location of hardware drivers, loaded services, and instructions necessary to complete the startup process.

The NT file type can also be known as a text boot file and shares similar characteristics with the IS2, PH, and IO.SYS files. In comparison to other versions of Microsoft Windows, this particular expansion would only exist on devices running Windows NT. The file does not contain much user content as much of this data is stored elsewhere.

Purpose of a NT File Extension

The main purpose of an NT file extension is to allow computers with an older version of Windows OS to be booted into this platform. To prevent conflicts, the system creates an individual boot file, ensuring no associated data is overwritten between installations or between hard drive storage areas. The main purpose of this type of boot record is to provide familiarity for users by providing support and recognition for outdated programs.

Location of Boot Record

Boot records stored as an .NT] extension take residence in root directory of hard drive under the 'Boot' folder. This folder includes important resources such as .SDI, .BOOT, .EXP, .SYS, and other similar files. Together, these files all constitutes the core of the system's boot loader software.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .NT) 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 .NT 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 .NT 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 .NT 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 .NT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .NT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .NT 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 .NT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .NT file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .NT file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .NT file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
