D: is a partition of your disk. It's useless to search partitions inside a partition.
As chkdsk freeze, it may be because of bad sectors. You should clone your disk to a new empty using ddrescue.

https://www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.pdf chapters "Creating a live USB" and "DDRescue: data recovery from damaged disk".
Once it's done, remove the damaged disk and try to recover your data from the clone.

Thank you cgrenier, I'm wondering if I can use the TestDisk: Repairing FAT boot sector to repair the boot file?
