So you have an OSX install dvd? Use that, load it up then on the top bar goto Utilities - Terminal, there you can use the commands, just remember you'll have to direct it to your Lion install drive, for example if your Lion install drive is called "Lion" instead of "sudo rm -r /Library/PreferencePanes/NTFS-3G.prefPane" it will have to be "sudo rm -r Volumes/Lion/Library/PreferencePanes/NTFS-3G.prefPane" add /Volumes/Lion at the start, or whatever your drive name is!
