I was using Almalah diary program on a SuSE computer. Something happened to this computer so I took the hard drive out, plugged it into a docking station connected to another computer. Hard drive was recognized but I don't know how to find the Almalah diary program. "Find Almalah" doesn't work.
Well what command did you actually use? "Find Almalah" certainly won't work. It would help if you at least knew the upper level directory to start with. Was it in a /home/user directory or somewhere else. You could get a lot of info on using the find command just using the search function here at LQ or doing it with google.
For executables, you can also use whereis. See man whereis for details. I like it for finding executables because locate can return a huge amount of output--all the libraries and so on.
find is a powerful command, but its syntax is not quite so straightforward.
