I don't quite understand the question. The fsck output you quote says
"UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY run fsck manually"
Did you follow this instruction or not? If you did, how did it fail? If not,
you should try it before deciding that fsck can't fix the problem ... and
definitely before trying to fix a Linux problem from Windows.
I also don't understand what you mean by "the hard drive where my "D:"
partition and linux live". The Linux partition that fsck is testing is hdc1,
a partition on the IDE primary master. In any Windows setup I know of, this
also is where the C: "drive" (partition, actually) is located.
