For fat delete and ruined tables, the answer is that the data is still there.

I've had some luck with a C program for finding images on corrupted CF cards.  
You dd the whole CF to a file and set the program to work on that file.  It 
looks for the start and end characters of jpg images to copy out your image 
files. The result is every photo that has not been overwritten is recovered.  

The code is simple and I imagine the same thing can be done with all sorts of 
files you might be interested in recovering.
