try viewing it using third party partition program. (Easeus or partition wizard will do)

It's possible when you cancel the installation, Linux already get the hand to D partition.

chkdsk/f d: checks disks for errors nad tries to fix them

chkdsk/r/f d: also checks if sectors can be read and written ... takes hours btw ... depending on size of partition
