Dunno... Try installing Linux or Unix in that box and share your directory via NFS... You might want to look into FreeNAS as well...

@tjyrna OK ra man ang FreeNAS, although wala pa ko ka-sulay nga grabe kaayo ang load... For SOHO, ok ra...

There are two options, you can install windows server or either Linux (CentOS, FEDORA, SUSE, UBANTU) it depends upon you .
For windows you already have option called HyperV
For linux you can install VMWARE and customized Operating system according to your needs. Installation process can be seen here Linux Help - VMWare For Linux Setup Guide
