Trying to run it on the computer you've lost the files on will only result in you over writing the files as you try to recover them.

As you have alredy done a Windows recovery you may have already lost many if not all of them.

Of course having things backed to an external hard drive, CD/DVD or other media is a better suggestion for not losing your photos.
Always have important files backed up at all times as you never know when you may lose the computer due to theft, damage or whatever.
