I can't open one of disks on my PC, I don't know what to do. I'm not sure what could have done this. Last time I turned on PC everything was fine. Do you think the fact that PC went without electricity for nearly 24 hours? I wasn't able tot turn it off properly because of my UPS no longer working properly.

Update: I managed to copy all my data to a different disk. Problem was caused by one .odt file that was saved incorrectly due emergency incorrect shutdown of PC (thanks to my broken UPS).

Do you have a filesystem on /dev/sda2. What type of filesystem? Is it broken?

What does the dmesg log say?

I don't know... I am a really casual user, so I have no idea

This is a chance to learn something as you fix it.

If you don't want to, then time to buy another pc.

(It could be a loose lead, weak power supply, or bad drive)
