You would have to burn it onto a CD or create a bootable USB stick.
The Ubuntu site has links and instructions.
I keep one handy, because it isn't stopped by Windows Security/Permission settings.
You might want to wait.
One of the HDD experts (here) may have a solution for your problem. :)
Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with that program.

In your first 3 pic's one of them showed it as unallocated space, one showed the error message, but the color at the top of partition showed it as a primary, before you go any further i need to know what you want to do with the partition, is it going to be a data partition D: / or do you want to merge it with C: / and make one big partition. This can be real simple if you don't go any further yet.
Event Viewer is also in the Management console, but if you aren't familiar with how to get to it, it probably won't be of any help.
I would try to run chkdsk on the drive, as suggested above, and or try a free program called Partition Wizard. It can be installed, or you can download a bootable CD to run from.
As always, when messing with partitions, you should have your data backed up first.
See where it says change drive letter and paths. With the ~200GB partition selected give it a drive letter D. Then the partition will show up in Windows explorer.
