neither OS X nor OS 9 can read an NTFS formatted disk. Only 2 solutions:
erase the whole darn thing and format it with a couple partitions, one being NTFS for your main computer and then other being either FAT32 or with MacDrive 2000 (on windows) format it with HFS+.
The other option... oh, i guess there really isn't another option.
Good luck....
btw: does anyone know if you do this (format with NTFS and HFS+ on two partitions) you're able to use it on the mac as a bootable firewire disk?
