Why isn't this on by default? Sounds like it might be dangerous. Wouldn't want to corrupt files.

Hi, Well, you can enable the read/write through terminal. It will enable native read/write support for NTFS on Mac OS X 10.6 for NTFS drives or partitions. 1. In Terminal, type diskutil info /Volumes/volume_name, where volume_name is the name of the NTFS volume you want to enable NTFS support. From the output, copy the Volume UUID value to the clipboard. I've personally found this can be somewhat tricky with VoiceOver, so writing it down in Text Edit might be a good idea. 2. Back up /etc/fstab if you have it; it shouldn't be there in a default install of the Mac OS. 3. Type sudo nano /etc/fstab. 4. In the editor, type UUID=, then paste the UUID number you copied from the clipboard. Type a Space, then type none ntfs rw. The final line should look like this: UUID=123-456-789 none ntfs rw, where 123-456-789 is the UUID you copied in the first step. 5. Repeat the above steps for any other NTFS drives/partitions you want to have NTFS read/write support. 6. Save the file and quit nano (Control-X, Y, Enter), then restart your Mac. After rebooting, NTFS partitions should natively have read and write support. This works with both 32- and 64-bit kernels.
