If you used LLF your data is gone, overwritten.
Nothing can help here.
Sorry.

Like dobrevjester said unrecoverable a LLF overwrte all sectors of disk with a deffined pattern "FF´"s for example, that means change flux field magnetic over surface change transictions from a " <--" to " -->" 0 to 1 impossible to revert it

Yes I agree totally I just want to reuse my HDD.
I do not want data.
Only thing whenever I boot my computer for OS installation it says
Sec Master HDD Error
Press F1 to resume
even after that xp installation starts after pressing F1
but it says
Setup did not find any hard disk drives installation in your computer.
make sure..................
..........
..........
Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, Press F3
even I tried to connect it to my friends PC
It shows nothing.
In add hardware wizard only one unknown hardware found message appears.
Further I tried to install Disk drives for the same by inbuilt drivers in xp and alternatively by auto search from internet but it didn't worked at all.
waiting for reply
