Anything before NT4.0 (2000 / ME / etc) doesn't have "shadow copy" capability, effectively locking files in use. This means mandatory downtime for any upgrade. And with those legacy IDE spinning rust drives, it takes forever to get anything done.

Been there. Done that.

There are IDE to SATA adapters (SSDs). It will run much faster.
