You can't mount two things in the same place, and you generally don't
use /mnt for permanent things, only temporary stuff.  You should
probably make new mountpoints (empty directories) for your two drives.
I tend to name mine /c and /d or whatever the drive letters are in
windows, so that it is easy to remember which is which.

You also MUST have values in every field (so 0 0 should be at the end of
those new lines).

Of course only root will have access to your drives unless you tell it
otherwise with the right options in place of defaults.

Also it is 'vfat' not 'fat32'.
