SOME REGENERATOR SOFTWARES SAYS MASTER BOOT RECORD IS DAMAGED

Have you considered that poor choice of software will only complicate things?

What 'regenerator' software do you mean?

Assuming just MBR is bad, data should still be highly accessible. Are other sectors accessible?


You should try R-Studio as suggested, but if MBR is reported bad because the surface cant be accessed then you need to identify the actual fault before doing anything else.

if the problem is only MBR then THERE IS NO problem

[positivebit]

easy fix - you can use cd of XP or diskpatch or google it..

If the only problem is the MBR, then you can consider testdisk; however, there's no telling what else is wrong with the drive. And it doesn't seem like you've done this before...
