You can not access the iPhoto Library from Windows. You need the iPhoto program (Mac only) in order to access the library. However, you should be able to access the individual photos but they first would have to be copied from the library to another folder. Might be an overwhelming job considering your library is so huge.

You need to EXPORT the images, not simply copy the library. The iPhoto library can only be read by the iPhoto application which you won't have on the windows pc.
