If you get a PCI IDE adapter card, you may be able to use a very large HDD and run at ATA133.

If you use a drive overlay program (comes on CD with new HDD), you can go as big as you want...or better yet, get an IDE controller card to bump up your data transfer rate to ATA100...your board probably only handles ATA33, THEN add a new HDD

Tough question then...even HP support can't answer it! Maybe someone else in this forum has that exact computer with that exact same BIOS and has tried larger and larger HDDs until they found one that wouldn't work.
