Hello.

Unfortunately NO,this is not possible.
Your Wii U formatted HDD can not be simply read with Windows (or maybe other Operating Systems).

You can "copy" original Wii U Games on SD Card with the Tool "disc2app" and then installed on your Wii U HDD with for Example "WUP-Installer GX2".
If you do not have Games you can try to search for other Sources like Wii U USB Helper:

Now you have a little Help for your Questions.

Thank you and
Good Luck.

Uhm...I think he mean with hacking CFW and some stuff. And with this exploit...you can't install tiramisu or so. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Well yes that's possible, but in regards to just Homebrewing, etc. Not atm, while exploiting the USB Stack is possible, (as shown by Gary) Atm this is mainly means of brick recovery, not actually modding the system like the person I was replying to implied. I can see the USB exploiting advancing in the future but taking the context of what the person had asked my answer is still valid. Although I'll change it to being a half no seeing as the exploit is possible, but not under the pretenses of what people would think, as you obviously cant just put Homebrew files on a USB drive and expect it to work the same as an SD card.

Valid point. Anyway, the recovery menu by @GaryOderNichts is able to launch a complete WUPServer. This in return should be a HB entry point, so it should be possible to install a CFW with this.
Yes, this is a lot of "should". I did not test this in any way and others (Gary) might have better answers.

Once again another valid point on your part, I would test this theory myself but I'm unable to atm as you already know. Regardless I'm still excited to see how it advances, now that people know it's possible who knows what might come from it
