It may be far more convenient to obtain another Vista-era PC and transfer the boot drive into that machine.
If it's roughly the same vintage, then Vista likely will have drivers available for any hardware differences (chipsets, bus controllers etc) it notices and you'll simply have to feed it the installation media to resolve them.
I would encourage you, once it is running again, to simply turn it into a VM. Business/enterprise class gear often happily lasts a very long time - but 20 years is pushing your luck with consumer grade. Most are discarded because they're too under-powered to be useful long before that.
