The file extension of P2I falls under the category of disc image files. Disc image files are a type of archive that store contents in bit-by-bit manner, allowing a user to create exact copies of the original disc. P2I file extension is used by CyberLink Power2Go, which is an application that is used for creating and burning CDs and DVDs. This particular file format is primarily used by the software program for storing data.
Data stored in P2I files are saved in an ISO 9660 standard format, which means it is a sector-by-sector representation of the original discs. To create a virtual drive to mount such ISO files, some third-party utilities such as Microsoft Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel and Alcohol 120% can be used. Some similar file extensions include B5T, MDF, NRG, CCD, ISO, CUE and CDI.
How to open a P2I File?
P2I files can be opened by CyberLink Power2Go or any other software designed for working with disc images, such as Windows Disc Image Burning Tool or ImgBurn. To open the file in CyberLink Power2Go, open the application and select the option “Burn Image Disc” from the main window. To open the file in Windows Disc Image Burning Tool or ImgBurn, just right-click on the file and select “Open with” or “Burn disc image”.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .P2I) 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 .P2I 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 .P2I 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 .P2I 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 .P2I extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .P2I file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .P2I 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 .P2I file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .P2I file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .P2I file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
