Hi Yuri,

I've had this too.  The standard ntfs does not allow rw on the file
system.  You have to install fuse-ntfs from /usr/ports/sysutils
(please check this on your system - I do not have a FreeBSD system in
front of me just now).  Then it must be mounted from the command line:

ntfs-3g <options> /dev/disc_whatever /mount_point

I could not get it to work from /etc/fstab.  I'll check exactly how I
do it tonight when I get home and re-post with more details.

Cheers,
Rob Hurle
