Help!

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).

This is a classic windows error. You need to disable fast-boot and hibernation, boot into Linux, then check & repair the filesystem. Then you should be able to access it. Windows likes to leave drives in a "dirty" state, because... Why not, I guess.
