RebuildBS does nothing on a zeroed out NTFS boot sector

A friend of mine told me his "D" partition shows up as "RAW" in Windows after his attempt to reinstall it. Here is what it looks like:
So I stumbled upon TestDisk which seems to have the fix for that. The problem is that when I try to RebuildBS, nothing whatsover happens once the 40 min scan for MFT is finished. I get no error messages or anything. It goes "Search mft 456______/457156608", then it gets me back to the previous screen:
Is this a bug? If not, why is it (not) working like this?
