If you are using a pre-built kernel, you can probably just
probe the module:

    modprobe ntfs

Otherwise, you probably built the kernel yourself and, if
you still have that directory around you built in, you can
follow the instructions from another post to get just the
module built...you might search the net (perhaps visit
kernel.org) for details of incrementally building new
modules, as it is easy once you know how to do it (never
needed to).

BTW, I also suggest you use xconfig, not menuconfig.
