By any chance if you have older partition structure, please recreate partitions with same block size. There is good amount of chance that you will get your data back.
Please make sure you are not running newfs/format on newly created partitions.
I have tested this approach on metaset/ODS volumes on solaris. In that case, I was able to recreate partition using o/p of metastat -p. Not tested on NTFS.
Other approach is to go with some recovery softwares to recover data in NTFS file system.
