Well, I'm sorry but I can't just guess... can You verify that the partition hda11 exist? Does it have a file system? Can You mount it manually using

mount /dev/hda11 /mnt/tmp

(create the dir /mnt/tmp first)

Yes, otherwise You will have nothing mount. What You can mount is a partition with a filesystem on it.

Your fstab says that the partition should have (is expected to have) a file system of type reiserfs, have You created that? If not, run the command

Code:
mkreiserfs /dev/hda11
But You must be sure that it is the correct partition, if You run that command on another partition You may erase everything on it. Just wanted to tell You to be careful

After that You may mount it with
mount /back
or
mount /dev/hda11
or
mount /dev/hda11 /back
or even
mount -t reiserfs /dev/hda11 /back
and even more variants

The entry in fstab actually makes sure that it will be mounted every time Your system boot (thats when a mount -a will be done, usually), but right now it also helps specify the details, that explains why for example mount /dev/hda11 and mount /back work equally well.

Good luck!

thanks Lakris.
It worked.
One last question:

As I posted above, the output of "fdisk -l" shows
/dev/hda and /dev/hdb.

What is the diffrence hda and hdb?I didnt create hdb.
Can I remove hdb?

Sorry for any inconvinience
