    Most probably it happened because the installation of Linux and then cancelling it half way through messed up your MBR. Unlikely that your drive was hacked.

    Hi Noanii

    Can you attach the screenshot of disk management?
    or
    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

    You're running an elevated command prompt, right? If not, Elevated Command Prompt
