[QUOTE="confused2, post: 1637398, member: 72949"] My Macbook Pro's (OS 10.8) cd drive is dead. Disk Utility (DU) says the hard disk needs repairs and I need to run it off the install disks. Since the CD drive is dead, I can't run Disk Utility. (I don't expect DU to fix the CD, but I would like to run it to hopefully fix the hard drive. I also have a working Macbook G4 (OS 10.4). Can I connect the two in Target Mode and run DU off the G4 to fix the MPB? Better yet, if possible, can I somehow install DU on a thumb drive off the MBP? If so, directions on how to accomplish this?
