The recommended way of doing this is to use setup.exe.  You
should uninstall your current installation on your C: drive
and install again on your D: drive.  This will handle all the
configuration for you so that things work.  Now, that's not
to say that you can't perform these tasks yourself manually.
You just have to know what you're doing.  In your case, you
have at least forgotten to update your mount points.  It's
very easy to get yourself into a non-working state if you're
not careful.  At this point, your quickest and easiest route
back to a working Cygwin installation is to use setup.exe.
