If you have control over that external drive you can format it (on OS-X) as ExFAT, and it can then be written to and read from by both OS-X and Windows. If the drive must be formatted NTFS, you can turn on writing via terminal commands (which works ONLY on a volume-by-volume basis) or using a third party utility. There is a pretty good summary here: http://www.cnet.com/news/how-to-manually-enable-ntfs-read-and-write-in-os-x/ -Bill
