Softmodding your Xbox only requires that you have at least one Free USB plug.

If your machine has both IDE and SATA connectors, it will probably treat the IDE ones as optical drives, which your Xbox is not. You'll need a computer that has IDE and not SATA connectors in it to hotswap the Xbox. And I am not sure if Vista has any prohibitive features (bugs) that would prevent an IDE computer from soft-modding your console. Ask your friends if you can use their IDE-only computers to do this. Ultimately, it shouldn't be hard to find a junk IDE-based computer that someone is about to throw away. Try using that and keep to the Instructable you linked to.
