Finally I got it working and got my bitcoin address as well. I really am an idiot..... the reason I couldn't get pywallet to work was because I had to write D: but I wrote D:\ by mistake.
Thank you to everyone who helped me out. Wink

I tried to run it as admin but the same thing happened, it started up for a second and then closed itself.

pywallet.py --recover --recov_size 30.1Gio --recov_device /dev/sda3 --recov_outputdir /home/jackjack/recovered_wallets

but all I'm getting is

Starting recovery.
Can't open /dev/sda3, check the path or try as root
  Error: (2, 'No such file or directory')
