Hi:
Running on AMD i386 with Live Ubuntu 14.04.3. Testdisk-7.0 was downloaded and stored on USB. Copied testdisk-7.0 to Home directory on computer. Tried to start testdisk-7.0 in a terminal using sudo testdisk-7.0/testdisk_static. Result no such dir or file.
Did I place the testdisk in the correct folder? If not which directory should it go in?
Thanks for your help,
Bob

Re: Getting started running testdisk-7.0
As you are already in testdisk-7.0 directory, run
Code: Select all
sudo ./testdisk_static
Re: Getting started running testdisk-7.0
Thanks CG for your reply. I am running Live Ubuntu 14.04.3 DVD. I copied testdisk7.0 into home directory.
In a terminal: sudo ./testdisk_static # Result Command not found.
cd testdisk-7.0
sudo ./testdisk-7.0 # Result Command not found
Each time I used ls to verify I was seeing the directory.
To check I rebooted into Live Ubuntu and ran sudo again. Same result as above.
What does CODE: SELECT ALL do. I typed it in the terminal and Command not found.
I keep wondering if I am seeing the computer's file system and am seeing the Ubuntu in computer memory. I tried to copy testdisk-7.0 into usr directory but it would not except it.
Thanks for your help, and any more suggestions,
Bob
