Exactly what it says - your laptop has a 32-bit processor, so you can't
install a 64-bit operating system on it.

The message means that you cannot install a 64bit operating system on a
computer with a 32bit cpu.

If you google on "32 bit versus 64 bit" you will get a ton of articles to
read like this one:

You find out what your computer is by looking it up on the Toshiba website.
I cannot find any references on the Toshiba website for a Satellite Pro 100.
The lowest model number for Satellite Pro is the 400 CDT and 400CS. Check
your model number and look it up on
