Actually, check https://sourceforge.net/projects/ntfsosx/
There is a third party utility for reading NTFS volumes in OSX. I
haven't tried it personally. I think you can also access NTFS formatted
data with the Windows network implementation in OSX, but I haven't had
occasion to use it. I do network frequently with XP.

Thanks Peter. I'll keep it bookmarked and check back in a while when it's a
little closer to reality. I've had a few occasions in the last few months to
transfer large multitrack audio files from my Windows box to a friends Mac
based Pro-tools machine and have had to reformat an external drive to FAT 32
to do the transfer with all of the inherent contiguous file size
limitations.
