I tried this, but it isn't working for me.

I downloaded SystemRescueCd ---> http://www.sysresccd.org/SystemRescueCd
I booted from a DVD and went straight to the GUI, had terminal open, typed in exactly what is written in the OP and I get an error in terminal.

After I type the part with "sudo ....."
Terminal responds with:

zsh: correct 'sudo' to '_sudo' [nyae]?

If I press y: _arguments:comparguments:312:can only be called from completion function
If I press n: zsh: command not found : sudo

I have 4 hard-drives and 1 SSD. I disconnected all of them and connected the 1 hard-drive that I need to run the recovery tool on (this HDD is not bootable). It's not connected to the number 1 SATA port on the mobo. Does this therefore affect the part of the code with: '/dev/sda'? Or what's going on?

I can help you here, as I had the exact same problem.
It is a problem due to how gentoo (the base of SystemRescueCd) works.
You solve it doing this.

Instead of typing sudo ./wallet-recover-0.3-linux/bin/32/wallet-recover /dev/sda recovered-wallet.dat
in the terminal window you type first:
su
(so you get the superuser priviledges)
and then simply:
./wallet-recover-0.3-linux/bin/32/wallet-recover /dev/sda recovered-wallet.dat

It will then work.

Also, careful if you work with external devices your drive to scan will NOT be sda.
with the crashed hard disk connected via usb in my case was sdc
You can see a list of all your drives via the system menu - partition names
