Again, where you run the program is essentially irrelevant - what matters is

hda6 and just tell it to store files under /mnt/hda8.
If so, then why to run a live CD? Isn't it much more simple doing as above?
It's simpler (and subjectively seems safer), especially for newbies.
It's also more general: if the partition from where files were deleted
contains only /home or other non-essential directories, it is possible
to run recovery from the running system (the partition only needs to be
unmounted), but if the partitions holds /, /var, etc, then it is hard
(or impossible) to unmount (or even mount read-only) the partition, and
some external system is necessary.
