I know that Windows file system is corrupted or missing...in fact I can't boot it and when trying to mount it with:

sudo mount /dev/sda3 /temp/ -t ntfs

i got

NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

I need to recover some pictures and some documents from there...is there anything I can try?

Though you can't mount it, you can read the filesystem with TestDisk and recover files from it.

TestDisk Step-by-Step will help you through the process.
