You'd have to leave the machine on the drive is connected to and set the folder options to shared - right click on the drive in My Computer and select Properties then the Sharing tab.
Alternatively buy a router with a usb slot on it (I have the netgear wgt634u) and then you can use the drive even with no other machines switched on.
