Win 7 Security tab gone!

[Mailman653]

Alright, so let me know if I screwed myself out of my hard drive contents.

I took the hard drive from my old computer and put it into my new one, problem is that Windows would tell me I need ownership of almost every file I click on inside the old HDD. So for a while I was clicking each file one by one (the stuff I needed), but I got tired of doing it so I started messing around with the advanced features of ownership and what not.

Eventually I got the "bright" idea that instead of doing this file by file (removing the old ownership and taking ownership on my new PC) why not just remove the old ownership from the whole HDD and then restore it. I figured that would remove all the old ownership rights in one shot and give them new ownership in one shot.

So I did just that and like an idiot I closed the properties window. So I click open again and now I'm missing the securites tab. That means I can't give new ownership to the whole hard drive. I really couldn't find an answer online and I'm still new to Win 7. So is there anything I can do short of formating the drive (assuming it will let me).
