Yes, the drives are USB. I can use the computer normally if the drives aren't plugged in, but once I do plug one in and start copying to it (or whatever) it crashes and I have to hit the reset button.
You know, I installed Vista on my computer without a product key just to see if it would work...it does. Hmm, maybe that's their plan! Not that I would object, I ran the Vista betas on this computer and they worked great and I loved them.
