The version of the OS 32 bit or 64 bit does not affect anything during istallation as they are not running.
Your XP is likely a version below SP2 and your drive a SATA as opposed to IDE. XP was designed before these drives became mainstream so they do not have default handling for all of them. Try checking your bios for a hard drive setting of "Native" and switch it to "Legacy" (you can switch it back after the install). If that doesn't work you may have to install sata drivers during the initial step of the installation where it asks for 3rd party drivers.
