Hi Shiven,
Hopefully when you get your new drive partitioned and formatted, you will be able to connect this 6TB drive with a corrupted partition to your computer, and recover most of the data over to the new drive.
There are several very good data recovery programs available to do that - Recuva by Piriform, Easeus Data Recovery Wizard which I like, M3 Data Recovery which has a 30 day free trial, and TenorShare Data Recovery which also has a 30 day trial. Check on their websites, as some only let you recover a limited amount of data free.
Once you have your data "recovered", then you can go ahead and use the 6TB drive formatted in a standard way. There is basically nothing wrong with the drive physically.
If you are going to use Win-10 as your OS on the new drive, consider clean installing it, since MS has your product number already, rather than going thru the "upgrade" process from 7 or 8.1 to Win 10 1607, as there are always errors that occur in that upgrade process. The practice of Microsoft updating our computers to the "Anniversary version" or even with the forced updates, is causing a lot of problems and anger, as they are breaking stable setups guys have used without incident. Like the Webcams that now don't work, or your HDD whose partition became corrupted. Probably best to stick with, for now, standard equipment and standard protocols.
With the newer motherboards, and setting up either a "dynamic disc initially, or a type of software raid Microsoft calls Storage Spaces, you can use disks much larger than 2.2 TB ((2^32)*512) and adjust their volume size when needed. So with a UEFI MB later, you can safely use your 6TB drive as a 6TB drive without risk
Hope everything goes well with your transition. We've all been there.
