Possibly, all you need to do is edit /etc/fstab.
That said, I am skeptical that you can write to an NTFS volume, either
safely or at all. NTFS is an undocumented file system, and changes have
been made in the layout of data and metadata in the file system as NTFS
has evolved. The most recent change is from NT 4 to W2K, and that is a
major change.
