But does /dev/sda1 even contain user data? It makes no sense recovering system files: reinstall. Now if /dev/sda1 only contains user data, there is nothing to reinstall: the system is intact.
You overwrote with zeros ("if=/dev/zero") the beginning of /dev/sda1
("of=/dev/sda1"), 2048 blocks ("count=2048") of size 1k ("bs=1k"). 2 MB.
Almost nothing! There is much to be rescued if you want to: the other
partitions are intact and a program like PhotoRec can recover almost all
files on /dev/sda1: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
