Does your computer still boot up if so you could use a liveCD like Knoppix or similar all you need to do is boot from the liveCD then navigate to your pictures insert a USB flash drive and move your picture to there.

So long as the disk drive itself is not the reason your eMachine went bye bye ... you should be able to move it to the HP computer. If the drive works it should be visible in Windows Explorer, at that point you can transfer the files to another storage medium. Without knowing what type of drive it is (IDE, Sata) really can't give you a step by step procedure.
no it doesnt boot up and to be honest i have no clue what kind of hard drive it is all i can say is it is not anyolder than like two and a half years
