In addition to Tom and Shridhar's advice, a single IDE disk is simply going to
make restores slow. A 500MB data file copy on that disk, straight, would
take up to 15 min. If this is for your ISV application, you need to
seriously re-think your hardware strategy; spending less on processors and
more on disks would be wise.
