seagate backup plus desktop drive 6TB become 3.86GB no data
suddenly my 6TB harddisk become corrupt and the geometry also change, i've already update the driver in device manager, nothing has change.

You should try a dco (Device Configuration Overlay) restore and an hpa (Host Protected Area) restore.
Use hdparm from a Linux LiveUSB, see https://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.pdf :

Looks like you have to use your warranty to get a new disk...
If you need to recover some data, you will have to contact a data recovery company.

Re: seagate backup plus desktop drive 6TB become 3.86GB no data
thanks for the advice
sadly i bought the external hard disk at 2012, been damage 3 times.
during 3 years warranty period, 9 months in the clinic, i'm practically really used it for 2y3m
now i'm wondering does torrent software can really damage hard disk by insert new file the already full capacity hard disk
after all i try to format the harddisk to GPT and fail again
