No "Security" Tab on NTFS partition

If I try to format a partition from disk management, the
only choice is NTFS (No FAT, FAT32 or the other choices).
However, on those NTFS partitions, if I right-click any
folder and open property dialog box, there is
NO "security" tab so I cannot set any NTFS permission on
files or folders.

How can I solve the problem?

My OS is Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600].
 
.... or install the following extension (no hack):

This will bring up the security tab in XP Home up.

I presume you have the Home edition of XP?
In Windows XP Home edition you do not have the standard possibilty of
security tabs.
Start XP in Safemode (F8 key during bootup) login as administrator. Now you
will have the 'security tab' available.
good luck
