I have my iphoto library backed up on an external hard drive but my macbook pro no longer works. Can I transfer the library or the pictures contained in the library to a windows based pc or windows formatted hard drive?

Restore it to a Mac with the same version of iPhoto and export the photos to a desktop folder and burn to disk - or depending on how you did the backup (not if you used Time Machine) pull a copy of the masters folder out and use the original photos form there - with TM you need to use TM on a Mac to restore the compete library
