Windows simply doesn't recognize the fat32 file system larger than 32GB

But I was able to read and write it perfectly on Win98. but not on winXP or win7 or win10.
how come?

I'm assuming your screenshot is showing physical sector 0, not logical sector 0. If so, then the drive is formatted as a "super floppy". That is, sector 0 is a FAT32 boot sector rather than an MBR. Perhaps Win95 can deal with super floppies, but it appears that Win7 and Win10 cannot.
If you can find some way to trick Win10 that it is a removable drive, then that may enable Win10 to mount it.
Otherwise, if your screenshot is showing physical sector 63, try to access the drive with DMDE.

i am pretty confident i have used FAT32 volumes larger than 32G on Win7...
Win7 does not allow you to create large FAT32 vols but can handle them once created by other means.
Have you checked if linux can handle it?
