I Want to Make my Hardrive into a NAS drive,
I have a standard 1TB Western Digital Hardrive USB 3.0
So if i connect it to my Linksys Wireless E4200 Router
Can i get access to the HD from the Network ?

If not, is there software that can turn it into a NAS drive?
 
I'm not familiar with your router, but from google, it looks like you can basically plug in your drive directly to the router and configure it as a NAS device.

As for software, you're basically looking at hooking the drive up to a computer and sharing it out. There's nothing that you can install on the drive itself, to turn it into a NAS.
