I just tested this on 4.0.2 CD and I get exactly same error.
For some reason I can't get testdisk to run on the CD version of 4.02. When I run testdisk, I get the following error:
testdisk: error while loading shared libraries: libntfs.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Has anyone else been able to get this working in this version, or is this a confirmed bug in CD 4.02....
I just tested this on 4.0.2 CD and I get exactly same error.
I got same error on Knoppix 4.02 Japanese edition.
I typed that:
cp /usr/lib/libntfs.so.7 /usr/lib/libntfs.so.5
and run testdisk.
Testdisk runs without problems.
Try at your owns risk.

Thanks!
I get a permission denied when I tried the cp. Am I missing a step?
<edit>
Never mind. Ran konsole as SU and it worked. My apologies.
