Yes. If it's a SATA hard drive, as it likely is, you can remove the hard drive and hook it up in another computer (internally in another desktop), or you can get a hard drive enclosure:

and hook it up via USB, etc.
If it is a laptop and it is PATA (parallel ATA, ie: old) then you'll either have to get an adapter to go to regular (non laptop size) PATA and again install it in a desktop, or get a mini PATA enclosure.

You need to take out the hard drive and put it in an enclosure. Give more details about the computer that broke so I can tell you what kind of enclosure you need. Is it a desktop or a laptop? How old is it? What's your other computer? Desktop or laptop?
If you cannot answer this, go to amazon.com and search for "hard drive enclosures".
