    Really new guy program install problem

    Downloaded "dd_rhelp" to try and get a fried hard drive's data, but I can't even install it. I think I have a lot to learn before I attempt this.

    Instuctions to install were as follows: " Installation process have been greatly simplified with version 0.1.0 as
    it as been completely removed ! Removing the previous hassle of the
    ./configure && make && make install normally reserved for
    languages that requires compilation.

    So for version superior to 0.1.0, installation is only a mean of a direct
    use of dd_rhelp, or a simple "cp dd_rhelp /your/bin/path"."

    Tried opening a terminal while in the downloaded directory and typed "dd_rhelp" just get a comand not found error.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I don't know about dd rhelp, but how about just using Knoppix Live CD to get that data off the bad drive?

      I am very new to Linux, so I am not sure what the best approach would be. Not knowing much about Linux commands I am looking for the easiest way possible. Doing the least damage in the process.
