Creating a NTFS partition on an internal drive?

[Rolomoto]

Currently I have OSX 10.9 and bootcamp (win8) on a 1 TB drive in a mac mini.
I am going to put those onto a 256GB SSD. I want to partition the 1 TB drive into HFS and NTFS. Can I create a NTFS partition from within OSX?
Thanks

In my 2008 Mac Pro (in my signature) was BootCamp (FAT32) a new third drive bay. When I booted into the Windows 7 DVD it ask what disk and to format the disk NTFS for Windows 7 Pro. It went great and installed with updated BootCamp Drivers.

If you install a third-party NTFS driver, such as Paragon NTFS for OS X, you'll be able to format any disk as NTFS from OS X itself (for instance, from Disk Utility). Naturally, you'll also be able to write to such a disk, erase files from it, et cetera. If you don't install said third-party driver, OS X will only provide read access to NTFS disks out of the box.
