Hi everybody!
I am running a liveCD and trying to recover data stored by windows xp on the HD of my laptop. I want to write all the data to an external hard drive.
I've turned off swap.
I have got Photorec up and running and it successfully detects my TB external and 100GB internal hard drive.
The problem is that Photorec does not offer me any option to save to the external once I have selected the internal hard drive. Does anybody know what is going on?
I get offered this menu:

Do you want to save recovered files in /home/ubuntu ? [Y/N]
Do not choose to write the files to the same partition they were stored on.
To select another directory, use the arrow keys.
