John's idea of using a backspace was a a good idea and I should have thought of it. Alas, it doesn''t actually work as Justin pointed out.
I got the UUID from /dev/disk/by-uuid and used that in /etc/fstab as Justin proposed. Worked like a charm. I also looked in /dev/disk/by-label and found: HP\x20v255w I assume that placing HP\x20v255w in the /etc/fstab instead of the UUID would have also worked. Thanks all and hope someone besides me learned something new. > The answer is a lot simpler.
