Testdisk ubuntu5/15/2023 The only part of this command that I understand is the 'sudo' part. (2) Trial and error the first time showed me that 'sudo apt-get install testdisk' is a necessary step to be able to run testdisk. (1) What did I do wrong and how should I be doing this? I am pretty sure I did it this way the first time when it worked. Shows me that the file is indeed in the current folder So of course sudo testdisk resulted in an error message. (pwd now reporting /media/SANDISK/tdisk for the rest of my terminal session both to save on typing and make sure any errors weren't from leaving out the path) (I had the problem described below several times in a row, and started from scratch each time - that is, by deleting the files I'd extracted, re-unpacking the archive and then renaming the directory, whose default name was much longer and included the version number) I made the name tdisk in case the problem was from having both the executable file and directory named the same. I then renamed the directory into which it had been extracted "tdisk" (without the quotes obviously). So I deleted the directory into which I'd extracted it, and re-extracted it. Now I've inserted my Ubuntu boot CD and the thumb drive on which I put testdisk and restarted the PC in Ubuntu.Īlas, I was unable to get testdisk to work again. To celebrate my success, I booted the computer off that partition. I succeeded in recovering the very small (or something like that) partition. I am trying to use testdisk with Ubuntu 12.10 to try to recover at least the recovery partition, if not the entire disk. I have a Dell laptop with a corrupted hard disk.
