Carrying around an NTFS formated external hard drive

Hi,

I have the following problem: I formatted my external USB hard disk as
NTFS (FAT just sucks with big disks). When I carry around my disk from
one computer to another, I can't write to directories, I create on
other computers. I also can't change permissions or anything, even not
if I'm logged in as Administrator.

Is there any way to get around this?

Thanks in advance!
