Yes and no. Depends on your BIOS version. Flashed it lately? Could be a problem.

The second issue is your OS. Could be an old version of Windows ... might be a problem. Might not.

The IDE standards shifted to a higher density cable but I'm not sure where that fits in on the timeline of computer developments...
