Error Code -61 help

My windows machine died a while back, and I just found it in my closet an hour ago. I decided to put it in my mac since it could use some extra storage space. It is an ATA-133, but it works fine in the 100 port, I can access all files, but I cannot move or delete them. The original computer is totally parted out except for the fried processor and motherboard, so I cannot change it there. How do I change the permissions on the entire hard drive so I can delete files? I need to save about half of what's on there, but the other half is just taking up space. I DO NOT have enough room on the other hard drive to copy all the files I need (They are about $100-150 worth of iTunes movies, no redownloading as well as important documents and tax records)

and btw, disk utility options to repair it are all grayed out.

NTFS formatted drive - you can read but not write to it natively in OS X.

I suggest Paragon's NTFS for Mac. It has been and still is on sale at half price. They've had it for sale at another $5 off on the weekends the last couple of weeks also. Free trial available also.

Do you know of any freeware? If not I guess I will save the most important stuff and reformat the drive, I can't even afford $20 right now, otherwise I would.

You can try NTFS-3g: I prefer the $40 regular price for Paragon.

Well I seriously would buy it, but then I would not have enough money to buy christmas gifts this year, I'm already about $100 short I will try the freeware first, I just need to be able to delete things so hopefully it will work.

EDIT: The freeware works, I am currently deleting the 35,000 files in the windows operating system, so I apparently have the correct permissions now.
