I suspect that you need to change your BIOS settings so that you are booting into the D: drive.

Well, that depends on where he put the boot loader, but my guess is that you are right, fpmurphy, that if he installed all to the second drive (Linux does not have C or D drives, ankurk) then he probably selected all of the install to go to that drive
