Ok so I've got 2 Macs; an old broken Macbook that comes up with a flasing folder icon when you turn it on, because the HDD is empty and a working Macbook Pro.
The old macbook will not go into Target disk mode if you hold T when you turn on the computer, it just stays on the flasing folder icon.
Now I got a retail copy of the Mac installation and I want to know if I can install it the Target disk mode way even though the broken Mac can't enter Target disk mode or if I need to purchase a DL DVD to put the OS on? The latter I would have to use an external DVD drive anyway since the DVD drive on the Macbook is not working (but I already own one).
So it's just a case really of if I can save money on the DVDs by using target disk mode.
Cheers
Duane
