Can you upload an expanded screenshot of Disk Manager for us.
Attach your USB device/HDD to your Windows 10 computer.
Access Disk Management via Run.
Press the Windows+R keys to open Run, type diskmgmt.msc in the empty box then press OK.

Polite reminder.
Please do not quote every reply, I have to read the full post and if there is nothing new contained I have wasted my time and kept you waiting.
I see two problems in your screenshot, C: is running low on free storage space meaning that Windows could become corrupt at any time and the D: drive has absolutely nothing on it.
Edit to add: Can I just double check that you did attach the USB device and HDD to your notebook as was suggested.

Did someone forget to attach the USB and HDD the first time 
The data on the I: partition has been converted to RAW somehow and the only way to convert it back is by using a third party program which unfortunately there is a fee involved, there is also a chance that you may not be able to convert and recover all of the data either.

There are a couple of reputable ones, easeus and partitionwizard, I never personally recommend any particular program due to the risk involved as in if things don`t work out no one can say that they were advised to use the program involved, I have seen one or two offering a free service but please be careful as nothing in this life is for free I`m afraid, various programs here
If I may interrupt.
You may be able to use a live version of Linux to access the drive to get the data off that you want to preserve.
