Mounting NTFS with read-write permissions
#9
Do you have ntfs-g3 installed on the machine?  I setup a LL Media server for a friend and he had an 8Tb ntfs formatted drive we wanted to use with all the media files already on it.  We were able to mount it r/w pretty easily after installing ntfs-g3.  Create a mount point and add the drive to /etc/fstab (here's the working lines from his /etc/fstab file):

# 8Tb Data Storage Drive
UUID=E60899A9089978EF  /8Tb  ntfs-3g  defaults  0 0

(You can get the UUID info for the drive from gparted or parted)

We set up a samba share too so can write new files to it from his Windows laptop.

Your working with an older system so things might be different...  Good luck.
