I need to access data on a dead Windows XP PC, so I connected the drive as a slave in a working Windows XP PC, when windows has started, I right-click on the folder with the data, but there is no security tab. Can anyone help please?

Here I think you'll find that you have Slaved this Drive to a XP Home version of XP so you need to pay particular attention to this section of the directions:-

[i]Start Windows XP Home Edition in safe mode
If you are running Windows XP Home Edition, you must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an account that has administrative rights in order to access the Security tab. Access to the Security tab is required in order to change security permission. If you are running Windows XP Professional, you do not have to start the computer in safe mode.

I think problems will came while accessing the data in "My Documents" folder of slave HD, only if you( Previous User a/c ) where password protected. Other data you can access without any problems...
