Add something like this to the end of /etc/samba/smb.conf
Ignore stuff after the #

[ShareName]
comment = #Blah
path = #location on YOUR computer of the share
browsable = yes #Useful:)
browseable = yes #Not sure which spell is used
public = yes #Show people the share in your listings
writable = no #Stop people from changing or deleting your files!

You can also put in to restrict the share to certain users(for each
share definition):
valid users = user1 user2

_Highly_ un-advisable, writing to NTFS is extremely limited and
_risky_. You can only replace existing files on the NTFS partition and
they must not be smaller than a certain size(Under 400bytes or
smething I think)
I'd stick with having NTFS as read-only.
