How to recover a deleted NTFS partition with data

Recovering broken or deleted NTFS partitions
1 answer
Originally my NTFS partition which occupies the whole external drive(1.8T) was having problems reading one file. It was probably corrupted, so I attempted to fix it by using ntfsfix on the partition. However, by accident, I run it on the device instead: ntfsfix /dev/sda , instead of ntfsfix /dev/sda1.
Now the system no longer detects the partitions, and if I try using cfdisk, it just interprets it as having multiple smaller partition, probably because it can't read the original one which was overwritten.
Is the partition recoverable at this point? Or at least a portion of the data? If so, how?

If you have no back-up then I guess the data was not that important.
