In this paper we present normal state magnetoresistivity data of magnesium diboride epitaxial thin films with different levels of disorder, measured at 42K in magnetic fields up to 45 Tesla. Disorder was introduced in a controlled way either by means of neutron irradiation or by carbon doping. From a quantitative analysis of the magnetoresistivity curves with the magnetic field either parallel or perpendicular to the plane of the film, we extract the ratio of the scattering times in p- and s-bands. We demonstrate that the undoped unirradiated thin film has p scattering times smaller than s ones; upon irradiation, both bands become increasingly more disordered; eventually the highly irradiated sample (neutron fluence 7.7X1017 cm-2) and the C-doped sample have comparable scattering times in the two types of bands. This description of the effect of disorder in the two kinds of bands on transport is consistent with the residual resistivity values and with the temperature dependence of the resistivity.
