Which version of MacOS is it running? If I remember correctly the system ntfs driver in Snow Leopard or later can be switched to write support.

Philipp, I found a howto that showed editing /etc/fstab and adding an entry like: label=MyDisk ntfs rw 0 or something like that. Anyway, I've been doing command line UNIX/linux for 30 years, so I thought the above was easy enough. But no luck. I talked to a Mac expert friend of mine. He said Apple consider it a problem that you could force their driver r/w in MacOS 10.6, so they blocked that ability in MacOS 10.7. He didn't know if they pulled it from the kernel driver, or just did userspace tricks to block /etc/fstab from doing its magic.
