To add:

Testdisk/photorec is to be run from a liveCD/Liveusb and you need a separate
HDD/Portable HDD to store the recovered data. The recovered data will be
huge in both number and total size, so where ever you decide to save it, it
needs to be big enough.  The file names will in all likelyhood change and so
if you are looking at selected documents or files only recover those
selected file types.
