now thinking it never happened to me with photos from a shoot, but i did a fair share of data recovery. Videos are tricky, there was one program that managed to recover a new go pro and new card videos from a friends vacation.
my first attempt was probably long long ago when i took my hard drive with me to a friend to transfer 40-50 aXXo videos. got home, plugged the HD and it just started dyeing in front of me. Condensation from carrying it in my pocket at -5C and plugging it right away killed it. Crazy that HD worked after formatting but non of the recovery programs at the time managed to do anything.
i probably have 5-6 recovery programs downloaded but the only one i remember now is Recuva. there was another great one that did wonders but it was a command line operated :D (no idea why, maybe programmer was just lazy to make the interface :D )
And for AI i was really surprised how much it advanced. I did some HTML code for XML reports and it wrote all the code. whit analyzing the structure of XML data, recognizing what is important... with import button and print button :D and my coding skills are almost non existent.
