My 2TB Hard disk is now showing only 20GB :(

Experts, need help desperately..
My 2TB hard disk WAS working perfectly in Windows7, then I did this blunder..
- I connected it to Kubuntu
- Then, using fdisk deleted all partitions and created one partition..
- Then using mkfs.ntfs I formatted it..
==> That's it.. from then onwards, it shows the size as 20GB ..
Quick Search from TestDisk shows this:
There is this error:
----------------
Analyse cylinder 2432/2431: 100%
Read error at 2431/254/63 (lba=39070079)
----------------
Then shows this partition:
==============
Disk \\.\PhysicalDrive1 - 20 GB / 18 GiB - CHS 2432 255 63
Partition Start End Size in sectors
>* FAT32 LBA 0 32 33 2431 216 25 39065600 [NEW VOLUME]
==============
Deep Search does not get my partition, showing following errors:
-----------------
check_FAT: Unusual number of reserved sectors 4 (FAT), should be 1.
Warning: number of heads/cylinder mismatches 64 (FAT) != 255 (HD)
Warning: number of sectors per track mismatches 32 (FAT) != 63 (HD)

>D Linux 175 235 61 306 119 5 2097152 [STATE]
==============
Is there anyway, I can get back my 2TB ?
Thanks in advance!
