If your newer computer is still ide hard drive cable instead of sata you could take the drive out of the old computer and add it to your new computer and transfer the files off the old hard drive. ---

An Ubuntu Live CD (if the monitor will stay on) will allow you to mount the drive and pull all of the pics off the the drive, and transfer them to a USB stick for further transfer. . .
