Have you tried using Testdisk to recover the partition? If you've hosed the partition table but not the data that's the go-to tool. It tries to examine the disk and figure out what the partition table should be and rebuild it. Obviously this can make things worse so I would image the disk first if you can.

Yes image the drive to a file on the 6TB disk, there's a billion near-identical programs that will do this but Macrium Reflect Free is the most commonly recommended option.
