I based thison the comments in the loop mod page. If it were a proprietary FS, Windows would not be able to read it, and Linux would likely have issues too.
“Using Ubuntu 9.02 Live CD, I was able to boot up my HTPC (which has an eSATA port at the front and at the back) and connect the internal HDR’s HDD to the front eSATA port to transfer recordings to my external HDD drive.”
is why a live boot Linux CD seems a good route to take.
The HDR being referred to on the loop mod page is the FoxSat HDR model not the 9150/9300 models.
The same cable modification can be used for all three but that is as far as the similarity goes between the FreeSat and the 9150/9300 for transferring files to a computer.
