Installing 32-bit XP onto a 64-bit ready system

I want to install Windows XP 32/64-bit disk onto a desktop system that is 64-bit ready, but I want to stipulate that I want to install the 32-bit version. (This is for existing programs only supported by 32-bit). Does an option appear when I insert the XP 32/64 disk?
Most pcs are 64BIT capable,the OS cd installation determines which type it installs,a 64BIT Win XP installation cd,gets you only a 64BIT OS,a 32BIT OS cd,gets you only a 32BIT.One would boot pc to BIOS,set XP cd as 1st boot priority,HD 2nd,install OS cd,save & exit BIOS.
