what verion of win2000 are you using? there is always a hibernate tab in control panel | power options.
are you on a standalone computer or a member of a network at work?
any chance someone has been playing with GPO's on your computer?

its probably caused by a driver you installed. Or did uninstall right. I had the same problem with my RealMagic Hollywood+ decoder card when i got the new drivers. So if you recently installed a driver set do a FULL uninstall and a clean reinstall.
Do you use ACPI?
no acpi = no hibernate
no acpi = no hibernate

OP
well, after i installed a clean win2k pro install i checked in the panel and it was not there. so i dont have hibernate from the beggining. and yes i use the ACPI configuration. so i dont have a clue where the hibernate thing went.....anyone?
well if there is no hibernate on there then your PC probably doesnt support it.
My hibernate dissapeared in win me and win2k one time a while back when i installed frickin peice of shat wmp7 beta in win2k. just one more reason why wmp7 sucks ass.

requirements for hibernate:
no ACPI
must use WDM drivers for sound card
Video card must be compatible..
Motherboard must be compatible..
I believe those are all of them..

For Hibernate you don't need any WDM-drivers or ACPI-Win2K
But in the book: Windows 2000 Professional - Die technische Referenz MS write that there is no Hibernate-support on dual-mainboards.... Or better: In a Windows 2000 Pro on a dual-processor system.....
