From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's one of the solutions I saw that I currently can't do because I have no other device that I can use for that.
You can do all of that on the device - but you only get one shot. If you mess up that's it - so no sensible person would try any form of data rescue directly on the device. Storage is cheap, if you don't have sufficient space on your computer just get another external disk.
I know you wont understand where I'm coming from so I wont bother explaining it. If I need another storage device than I'll just have to wait until next year to get another storage device.
Edit: I don't understand why I'm getting downvoted but it proves to me that I made the right choice in not explaining my situation.
In that case I'd recommend waiting until next year before attempting recovery.
