Can a Hp 64bit computer without an OS run 32 bit Ubuntu?

Asked by Don Northcutt

I have a Hp Pavilion 64 bit computer without an OS on it. Can I load a 32 bit Ubuntu system on it and if so, how can I install it.
I have no install disk for the machine.
 Reason being, I have some programs that won't run on 64 bit machine and there are no mfg drivers for them.
