The question for non-dedicated is rather: "...can your server talk to the
IDE drive without the need for additional software drivers?  Since your
server already can be used in non-dedicated mode, the real question is the
drive support....so if your bios directly supports the drive, it should
work...if you need special software to "trick" it into running...look 
some more...
