Hibernate missing

I formatted and reinstalled xp on my Inspiron 1501.  Now when I click on shut down the only options are standby, shut down and restart.  It also will not hibernate with the fn button.

    Go to the control panel and under power options>Hibernate see if it is enabled.

    It was not enabled.  I enabled it and the hibernate option still isn't there.

    No!  I set it up that when you hit the power button it hibernates.  The hibernate button still isn't on the turn off your computer options.

    Try clicking start, type in cmd in the search bar at the bottom, right click on the result for cmd at the top and click on Run as Administrator. Then, type

     

    powercfg -h on

     

    and press enter. Reboot and see if it comes back.

    After you click on start->shutdown, have you held down shift for the hibernate option to show up (the standby should change to hibernate when you press shift)?
