Or attach the drive to a machine running Windows and then Share it. Access it over the network. OSX cannot do proper writes directly to NTFS.
 
okay so i installed macfuse had everything working i was delting somefiles i thought i wouldnt need and no osx is telling me there is no space left on the drive but i have 30 gbs left did i screw this drive up?
 
What format is the drive? What were you trying to do when it said you were out of space?
