Macfuse has the ability to write to ntfs.
It has not been updated on a regular basis, but it works well.
However, with 64 bit OS you will probably have to use Fuse4X/OSXFUSE .
If you want an easier solution, Macdrive or Paragon HFS+ for Windows might be the answer.
I should mention that Macdrive doesn't officially support anything below OSX 10.3.9 unless you can find an older version of the program.

If you had the other drive hooked up to a pc you could try this solution via YouTube.

Got it working by NTFS 3G

I don't really see the issue, i've transfered data to an hdd from a MAC and it was as simple as plug it in and drag n' drop

You could use a Linux distro, i.e. Ubuntu, to access those files from the mac drive and copy them to the external HDD.
