Particle board is a poor subfloor to install hardwood over, it will not hold the nails and/or glue required to install the flooring. Think about a hardwood pattern vinyl tile.

You will either lay the wood down with an adhesive to attach it to the floor or you may have boards that snap together firmly to complete the floor.

If it's a floating floor, either glued together or clicklock, put down the foam underlayment and put the floor on top. If nailing, use aquabar underlayment and 2" staples.
