Recovering Data from a FAT32 HD on a Mac

Hello,
I am working on a Imac Intel core 2 duo running OS 10.4.9. The problem is with My Lacie Porsche 150gig firewire HD formated for FAT32. I am getting the "Disk Insertion: The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" message.

I realize what this means, so I have tried Data Rescue II and Disk Warrior to no avail. After 3 days DRII saved nothing, then upon trying DW it told me that it couldn't rebuild the directory because it is FAT32.

Is there a way to retrieve my data on my mac?
If I can get a hold of a PC can I save it? If so with what program?

Thanks in advance for any help!
 
Strange.
I have a FAT32's formatted 80G Maxtor I daily use to echange files (files, movies, MP3s) between my home 10.4.10 Imac and my office machines.. without any problem... mounts fine on Tiger/Panther and Win2000/XP machines
Are you sure your drive is a FAT32 formatted one ? .. not a NTFS, which is the WinXP's dfault format type ?
Does Applications>Utilities>DiskUtility see it when hooked to your Mac ?
