The best and easiest way is to pull the hard drive from the old computer then purchase a hard drive enclosure unit from somewhere like Newegg.com, Tiger Direct, or Target/Circuit City if they carry them. This way you can access the hard drive via USB port without the need for the old machine to be up and running.

FYI: Once you have all the information off the drive that you need, you can use it as an extra external drive or even as a back-up drive to back-up your work in case of hard drive failure.

Your first step should be connecting your camera to the computer, usually via a USB connection with a cord that comes with the camera.

Otherwise go into My Computer and look for a new drive to show up with your pictures in it.
