If it was the other way around, i.e. the windows machine having trouble I would say look at having the NTFS partition as the first in the list and the mac one second. Windows can be funny about the order of the drives, and external drives with multiple partitions, but macs tend to be fine and not care.
If you remove all the third party mount tools OSX should natively be able to see the NTFS drive in read only mode, so that would rule out one of the mount programs causing the freeze.
