Right, so be it.
Let me just once more stress that this is
unsupported, and could lead to serious problems. This is really not recommended for average mac-users. Trust me: be religious about the 'safely removing the external drive' feature in windows (if you intend to use that drive on the Mac later), and on the Mac: remove the drive properly. Don't just unplug it. Same goes for Bootcamp: if you crashed your windows -and therewith the NTFS partition or drive wasn't properly closed- don't even try accessing it with the Mac, until you've done a proper windows boot & shutdown on it. There's more: don't do silly things, like undoing a move operation on the NTFS drive, or 'get info' on a 200GB drive with 6000 songs and 300 folders on it....
But simple read/write operations will work, so you can finally put those +4GB files somewhere now. Drag entire directory-trees over...no problem. But if you don't understand what it actually is that you're doing there, just stay away from this.
Now the simple part:
__________________________________________________________________________
*-create (or if exists: edit) the file
/etc/fstab*
*-in it put the following statement: LABEL={ntsf-volume-label} none ntfs rw*
*-reboot the Mac*
__________________________________________________________________________
In my case, my Bootcamp partition is called BOOTCAMP, and one of my ntfs usb-drives I whish to write to is called LaCie500. So it reads in my
fstab:
+LABEL=BOOTCAMP none ntfs rw+
+LABEL=LaCie500 none ntfs rw+
That was all. I could have explained that one creates the file with "+sudo nano /etc/fstab+", but I won't. If you need that much info you should probably not mess with this stuff.
_+I take no responsability, nor shall I...blahblahblah...you know the drill...+_
