If you want to run TestDisk, let me know beforehand so that I can give you the instructions. If you are going ahead without my instructions, just make sure you do not give any write command anytime..
When TestDisk shows you the found partitions after a Quick Search/Deep Search, you should only highlight each shown partition and press CTRL+P for it to list the files. Only one partition will show you the files. You should then select the files and give the copy command to copy the files to another external drive with adequate space. And this destination drive should have been plugged into system before you start TestDisk for it to see it.
Note: If Test Disk shows your partitions - which can be more than one as I stated earlier - you will also see a message in the Window that the partitions have been found using the backup bootsector.
If you have any doubts on what should be the next step, post a screenshot and ask for help. Don't give any command without knowing what it will do. You can quit Test Disk anytime by repeatedly pressing Q or clicking on the X (Close button) on the right hand top of the Window.
