Chances are slim. This model has an obsolete BIOS. You may try disk management software like EZdrive, Ontrack or similar to work around the BIOS limit. <OR> Get a PCI IDE controller card.

The card is the better way to go so you can take advantage of faster IDE transfers. The onboard IDE is limited to UDMA33.
