After installing Ubuntu 12.04.3 on a Windows 7 laptop, running Ubuntu Disk Utility showed the following partition information;

/dev/sda1 NTFS, Bootable, Filesystem, Labled: System Reserved, 105MB, Not Mounted

/dev/sda2 NTFS, no flag, Filesystem, no label, 84GB, Not Mounted

/dev/sda3 Usage: Container for logical partitions. Partition Type: Extended (0x05). no flags. no label. Capacity: 416GB

/dev/sda5 Usage: Filesystem. Partition Type: Linux (0x83). no partition label. no flags.  Capacity: 999MB. Type: Ext4(ver 1.0). Available: -. Label: -. Mount Point: Not Mounted

/dev/sda8 Usage: Filesystem. Partition Type: Linux (0x83). no partition label. no flags.  Capacity: 30GB. Type: Ext4(ver 1.0). Available: -. Label: -. Mount Point: Mounted at /

/dev/sda6 Usage: Filesystem. Partition Type: Linux (0x83). no partition label. no flags.  Capacity: 377GB. Type: Ext4(ver 1.0). Available: -. Label: -. Mount Point: Not Mounted

/dev/sda7 Usage: Swap Space. Partition Type: Linux (0x82). no partition label. no flags.  Capacity: 8.4GB.

sda2 contains Windows 7 but without a mount point

sda6 should have been the Home partition and sda5 should have been the Boot partition but the mount points seem to have been lost and now everything but Swap has gone into the root partition sda8 (the Home folder also seems to be within sda8).

How do I go about getting sda6 used as the Home partition and sda5 as Boot
