I have XP pro installed on my pc which is a p400 with 320mb ram and 3 hdd's , 4gb, 10gb and 60gb all of these are formatted in ntfs, but when I go in to the properties of any dir on these drives I don't have a security tab and therefore can't set any permissions. I have tried to reconvert the drives to NTFS but the op system confirms that it is already NTFS. Please can anyone help.

Are you logged in as Administrator? Or does your local account have Administrator rights?

This is a fun one: actually my first head banging experience with Xp he he.
Right click "my Computer" select as follows: explore, choose tools/folder options /hit the "view tab"/ scroll all the way down/ uncheck the "use simple file sharing" check box. Its deafult and is meant for novise users...

Have fun
