How can i view a large FAT32 drive on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

My PS3 HD recently crashed and i am attempting to access it to pull off my saved games and transfer them to another drive. I know PS3 drives use the FAT32 file system, but windows doesn't recognize any partition larger than 32GB on FAT32. I checked around the net and many people recommended Ubuntu, but when i installed and ran it, i was having problems figuring out how to get the drive to mount. I struggles with it for about 4 hours and finally gave up and came here. Is there some way to just view it on Windows 7 x64?

    Windows 7 only supports NTFS file system which is generally known as New Technology File System. To backup your PS3 file you can use NTFS file system on your hard drive because NTFS file system supports Fat 32 file system also.

    You can't. Read up on NTFS.
