I wouldn't try if I were you (see the man page on the link) : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dmount_ntfs&apropos=3D0&sektion= =3D0&manpath=3DFreeBSD+5.4-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=3Dhtml If you don't have a windows install, you can try using a Linux LiveCD which includes captive-ntfs. You need a few dll from windows xp but I think there's a setup which download the windows xp sp1 for you to retrieve them automatically. But it's not a viable solution if you plan to copy files to the ntfs partition on a regular basis. I assume you are in a dual boot environment. I suggest you to format the external drive in fat32 if you want it to be readable by both Windows and FreeBSD. link to captive-ntfs : http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/
