If Postgres is having any issues starting up, details should be in the log file. I don't know where that file gets written on a Windows system though, perhaps it ends up in the Windows Event log?

What procedure did you follow to move your data to the D-drive? That seems a likely cause of trouble, especially if the database was running while you did that - you may be looking at an unrecoverable database snapshot if you didn't take precautions, in which case the database would refuse to start up.
