If you use any other recovery software, they will all have the same requirement to have a separate location to save your recovered files. The answer is very simple, if you recover files from a drive to the same drive you are most likely going to overwrite the data that is already there making further recovery impossible. There are several choices to save data to. You may save it to another internal drive, a separate partition, an external drive, a USB flash drive, or a networked drive. Note; You cannot save the recovered data to CD or DVD.
