Is there a way to move between discs when recovering files?
I ran TD and found minimal damage to hdd's logical structure. My laptop root drive (500Gb ssd) is not large enough for the files (509Gb).
I could not find a route to a third drive with enough space.
I installed a copy of TD on the third drive and began recovery from there. Unfortunately, the transfer rate was so low (50Mb/min.), I had to seek other means.

Yes. If the target drive is full, you will be prompted to indicate another target location.

There is no need to have TestDisk twice within a running system.I installed a copy of TD on the third drive and began recovery from there. Unfortunately, the transfer rate was so low (50Mb/min.), I had to seek other means.
The information you have given is too vague and not specific enough for further investigation.
Re: EXTERNAL DRIVE ACCESS FOR TRANSFERS
Feature this: you run td. You list files. You select all files. You selecr 'C' to copy. There is no response to the up arrow as might be expected, only left and right arrows elicit a response. You get a page with two entries without identifying marks. You shift right and get the root folder of the drive. Furthur shifts do not show other drives, e.g. E, F, G drives. There is no choice but the drive from which the software is run, or the drive from which files are being copied.

Please avoid shouting (title in capital letters -> against netiquette!). Avoid self-created abbreviations like "td".

Data recovery issues require care and precision.
The german saying "Ein Bild sagt mehr als tausend Worte" tells you that a picture tells more than a thousand words.
Please post one or more pictures of your route to "failure". If you don't use screenshots, take the picture with the camera centered to the middle of the screen. Do not take pictures being above, under or beside your screen.
Thank you.
