It's trying to mount them as fat, are they fat file systems or something else? (Ex-fat for instance)

 

Her is the scrrenshot of Disk utilitty

Humm strange. As root, can you try something like;

cd /tmp

mkdir aa

mount /dev/sdb1 /tmp/aa

(if that fails)

mount -t msdos /dev/sdb1 /tmp/aa

(and if that fails)

mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /tmp/aa

(if that fails I think centos is a bit broken)
