Clearly the boot sector's been stomped on somehow at the very least.
Try sudo dd if=/dev/sdb count=$((2*16384)) | hexdump -C | less which should show a binary dump of the first sixteen megs of the drive. Hunt for NTFS in that listing in less by typing "/NTFS" and hitting enter. If it finds it that means the partition might still exist and might still be accessible if you can create a partition on the disk matching it's exact placement.
