Hi
I am not an expert but I think you will find that this security feature is
only available on NTFS formatted drives. If your drive is FAT (32) formatted
(the usual format) it is not available. Goto Start - Help and Support and
type NTFS FAT. then click on 'Choosing between NTFS, FAT, and FAT32' to read
about it.

Cheers
Phil
