To big hard drive.

I've been trying way to many recovery programs, so far this one was the best for it found all the files (with out the names, I accidentally deleted the MFT).
Now my problem is I don't have space to recover all the data. it is about 900 GB worth of data and my laptop hard disk as like 300 GB left (this is an external hard drive that got "virtually" damaged [Windows said: "you must format this drive to use it"] when I was trying to salvage data from my old laptop HD that was failing). So what I needed the program to do is update the MFT (i don't care about the file names, most of the files are over 400 mb large) with what the program found on the same drive. Can this tool do that? If not can you redirect me to a tool that is able to do this?
It is my understanding it should not be very hard to do, since the program knows where, what and how much the file is, it should just write to the MFT file "24948.mkv" sector xxx to xxx. Of course this is my own understanding of the situation and might be wrong.
The file system is NFTS, the program found all the files I wanted, now I got no where to stuff them (and obviously I don't want to over write data on the same drive).
