Hi

Not too sure but this might work:

use gparted to relabel sda8 to "side2" with no spaces then create the
mount point with

sudo mkdir /mnt/side2

then mount it so:
sudo mount -t ext4 -L side2 /mnt/side2

Your next post came in as I was about to send. If you want to try to
recover it then look at installing testdisk or get a grml boot cd as
it has loads of recovery tools. http://grml.org
