The other thing to keep in mind with USB drives; it wasn't until Windows 2000 that most of them were plug and play. I know back in my early days of computer support I had to keep a floppy handy with the drivers for my 128 MB USB stick.
Also very few Windows 95 computers will have USB support. It was offerred as an add-on component after the relase of Win95B; and was built into Win95C. And Win95C was pretty short lived as Win98 came out less than a year later.
I like H&L's option better; however I do have a 3rd option for you. I will have to make sure, but I am pretty sure I have a Windows 2000 computer at home that you can just take. It's only Pentium II- but you could connect the old hard drives into when the CD-ROM connects and have your old drives as slaves. Then just plug in a USB drive and copy away.
Of course you could also just see if your computer has an IDE port and just do the same thing.
