Well, firstly disconnect the ide lead and power to your duff drive. 
Ensure the remaining drive is jumpered to "master", end edit your fstab 
accordingly.

For an example, a snippet from mine is:

/dev/hde /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,iocharset=iso8859-15,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/hdf /mnt/cdrom2 auto 
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto 
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,noauto,exec,users 0 0


Also, why are you using 'supermount'?(!)


Once you get one drive working, then perhaps try the second drive oncemore.

Good luck,
Martin

Mandriva 10LE (aka Mandrake 10.2)
