There are a couple of ports that claim to write to NTFS. I haven't tried them. When I dual boot with MS-NTFS, I actually squeeze the NTFS slice down just a little further and make a couple or so GB slice in FAT32 that I can read and write from both FreeBSD and Microsloth. That means I am using up 3 rather than 2 slices when dual booting that combination; NTFS, FAT32, FreeBSD. I don't know if work is being done to make standard FreeBSD write NTFS.
