External HDD cross compatibility

Hi,

I am a first time poster and MAC user. I bought a MacBook to replace my old PC laptop and I am delighted with it.

However I have an external HDD which I would like to use with both PC and MAC. OS X 10.4.8 can read an NTFS formatted drive but can not write to it. Is there a file system that is cross compatible or is there a way to make the drive writable by the MAC?

Help!
