You will bust off the TOP half of the grooved side. ( because there is nothing under it to support it while driving in the nail. Once the nail begins to hit the bottom edge it wont break because its supported and resting against the floor) Dont nail the Tongue side with nothing under the tongue either because you'll bust off the tongue too. Always connect tongue and groove together so its a solid piece of wood before nailing, or fill in the gap so either end (tongue or groove) is supported from the floor up to where you're nailing.

It's always best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations but in general, solid tongue and groove hardwood flooring should not be installed on concrete. Many of the laminated tongue and groove pre-finished products can be glued down to a concrete slab. Actually (I am simply improving this question I didnt want to delete the first response) I manufacture hardwood floors, If you are installing floors in a basement the question should be if the floor is solid or engineered. Typically solid wood flooring should not be installed in a basement because the sub-terrain environment is more susceptible to humidity. The moisture then causes the floors to warp. Engineered wood, however is recommended for basements and they often come as tongue and groove. See : Related Links
