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 /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.
