Windows MBR Overritten by linux command dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count1

Question

I know it's a stupid thing what I have done : In a Linux Virtual machine I did dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count1 to my external hard disk containing windows

Now I Cannot detect the external Hard drive in my windows machine. I thing the MBR Partition is gone

What to do now ? any way to resotre my data on the external Hard disk ?
