mount error, special device does not exists

mount error, special device does not exists

I have a hard disk of 320 GB on ubuntu 12.04 64-bit.
2 drives of my hard (sda7 and sda8 of ext3 type) cannot be mounted.
output of sudo mount /dev/sda7 /home -t ext3 :
mount: special device /dev/sda7 does not exists!
/dev/ contains the following:
sda sda1 sda5 sda6
but GParted shows sda7 and sda8:
output of blkid:
