Getting started running testdisk-7.0

[Yankee26]

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?

Terminal attempt to run testdisk-7.0

Dir home-testdisk7.0 2015-09-20 04_57_45.png (74.41 KiB) Viewed 3856 times

Thanks for your help,

Bob

As you are already in testdisk-7.0 directory, run

Code: Select all

sudo ./testdisk_static

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
