Newly moved in with my GF for a couple of months and she as an external HDD with and NTFS-partition on it. The Mac OS X 10.4.* has native support for reading NTFS but not writing to it.
Solution:
Macfuse and ntfs-3g.
How to install:
You can do this by fink but i did it by *.dmg so the instructions are as follows:
My system worked great after this but your might not so if it doesn't go to macosxhints
Troubleshooting:
If you are unable to mount the partition and the error message is something like this: The partition is in use, unable to mount . Here is a little troubleshoot:
If you have previously mounted the disk in Windows then remount it in Windows then unmount it by using the secure remove hardware procedure.
If you are having more problems i direct you to there own troubleshoot/faq.
