I try to look at the manual and BIOS settings but I'm leaving soon, what options do you have for SATA as in set to RAID/ IDE or Native support enabled or disabled in the BIOS?
Did you add the RAM or did it come with 3GB?
F32 is most probably the BIOS version, if your XP Pro is 64bit, you will have to install XP with no more than 2GB of RAM then do all Windows Updates in Custom mode then add the rest of the RAM.
