I looked for this model and found a very old Service Manual:

 

Service Manual

 

This series of models uses a main chipset made by a now-defunct company and most versions do not support LBA; meaning you cannot use a hard drive larger than 120 gigs. The problem is not the BIOS but the hardware itself. You need an old-school IDE (PATA) hard drive of 120 gigs or less. it will run XP SP3 just fine.
