Hi Hughparker1,
Yes, I've had this problem sometimes with a either Windows / LL dual boot or a Linux only dual or multiple boot setup, on an MBR disk.
Like you LL sometimes needed to be 'reset' so that it was again 'in charge' of the grub list, though unlike you I didn't have the 'Welcome to emergency mode' message.
Like you I ran the first two lines of code you have shown, but left out the 'umount' line, and that seemed to work.
Maybe Hugh try again, but without unmounting /dev/sda8. Maybe worth a try...
Cheers
Mike
