My OS X drive is only 57.27 Gigs, my Vista drive is 250 Gigs.

HOW do I set up OS X to use a folder on the NTFS drive?

I've heard I could with the assign feature...My intention is to use the same folder as Vista uses.

Tiger: G4 PowerPC Dual Core 400 Mhz w/640 MB RAM
20 Gig ATA HD all HFS+
Internal DVD
Access to Server
True Tiger

Leopard: Acer Intel Atom Dual [email protected] w/1 Gig Ram
160GB HD-133GB NTFS, 15.68GB HFS+
SD slot
No Net access
iDeneb 1.6 Lite

Compaq SR5710F [email protected] w/3 Gigs Ram
80 Gig ATA HD (NTFS - Vista)
200 Gig ATA HD (NTFS-Data)
Access to Server

Server: Compaq 1.8 Single Core Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
~2 TB online....

It is possible to move your home folder to another drive, though i wouldn't use a ntfs partition for the task as existing 3rd party ntfs drivers such as MacFuse are no way reliable or fast enough imho. Your best bet is to repartition your main windows drive and format it HFS.

Open Accounts from your System Preferences, right-click the account whose home folder you want to change, and select Advanced Options. Inside, just point the home directory to where you want it to live.
