There are two requirements to see the Security tab. First, the drive must
be formatted with the NTFS file system. Secondly, Simple File Sharing must
be disabled. It sounds like the drive IS NTFS, which means you just need to
disable Simple File Sharing. To do so:
Open up My Computer. Go to the Tools menu, and select Options. Click on
the View tab and look for the option "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)"
to uncheck it. It is the very last item in in the list with the English
sort order, but the position varies by language.
After doing that, you should be able to see the security tab again.
