Install 64-bit WD hard-drive onto 32-bit WIN XP

Yes as the bios you are using is very old. Bios updates can include sata drivers and many other updates and your system has had quite a few critical bios updates since you got it. Yes the jumpers are OK but most sata 3 gbs controllers will auto set a sata 6 gbs drive. Like sata 1.5 gbs wont run a sata 6 gbs drive, but sata 3 gbs should have no problem running a sata 6 gbs drive. When there is a critical bios update put out for your system you install it or have someone else do it.
