You got some serious problems here. Most likely your partition table got
corrupted if what you say is actually all that is being displayed.
Basically Windows says you have a extended partition storing the D
drive. you have approximately 5GB in C Drive and 5GB in D Drive
totalling approximately 10GB. Now Linux says you have two primary
partitions approximately equal to the size of your C and D Drive but do
note Linux says both are primary partition. Somehow your extended
partition is there yet not there. That is why you cant create a extended
partition. I would suggest you delete all the partitions and create new
ones. If possible try to create your partitions using fdisk under Linux
and then format them under Windows.
