I don't know what filesystem the drive had, since its not my disk and the person who gave it to me has no idea - but I would think its an NTFS or a small chance HFS+.
My goal is to restore the partition or at least save the data on the drive. Im kinda stuck now.
Can anyone help me get futher?

The harddisk (1000 GB / 931 GiB) seems too small! (< 1689 GB / 1573 GiB)
Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...
The following partition can't be recovered:

sfdisk: Input in the following format; absent fields get a default value.

Usually you only need to specify <start> and <size> (and perhaps <type>).

I also tried running photorec on it and after 16 hours it only located a few broken files.
Any idea what to do next?
Thanks in advance - any help will be very appriciated!
