Hibernate function on Windows 7 Starter missing

[rhythmcrazy]

Hi, I recently bought a netbook with Windows 7 Starter installed on it. It seems like the hibernation feature doesn't exist in this version of Windows 7. What can I do to enable my netbook to hibernate? I have used the sleep option but I prefer the hibernate function, which I am able to use on my old laptop with Windows 7 Home Basic. Any suggestions?

Thank you

You might want to mention what netbook it is.

for example, samsungs come with a utility called fast start that disables hibernate.

Yes it is in fact a Samsung (N150 Plus).
