Try commenting out some of the earlier ones that currently mount ( C, D, and E ) and see if that makes any difference. If it does, then the phrase 'or too many mounted file systems' seems to be coming into play. I dunno if this is set artificially low in SuSE... Volker?

Hi, I am wanting to copy a file from an ntfs formatted drive on my suse
box to a windows box. I can do this from the hdb1 ntfs partition ok,
but if I try to look at the hda6 drive (also ntfs) in konqueror I get
the following error from "kio_devices_mounthelper":
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda6, or too
many mounted file systems. Please check that the disk is entered
correctly.
The lines in fstab look the same, yet the mount command shows that hda6
in NOT mounted. What do I need to do to view the files on hda6? I can
browse all the other partitions OK.

Have you tried mounting the partition by hand?
I have an XP partition which mounts with a command like this one:-
mount -t ntfs -o ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002 /dev/hda6 /windows/F
Note that I haven't put in the nls=utf8 phrase because it causes the error message you mention. ( The nls=utf8 bit is not mentioned in the man page as an option for ntfs either - hint )
Also check that the /windows/F mount point exists.
-- C. S.
SuSEbox:/home/roger # mount -t ntfs -o ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002 /dev/hda6 /windows/F
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda6,
or too many mounted file systems
Does this provide any clarity on what's happening (or not happening?) The other partition that is ntfs doesn't have this problem in linux. The commands in fstab are simply the ones created during the suse install. Booting into windows shows all ntfs drives appearing to function as I would expect. Roger
