What OS X version is on the 2013 drive?

Hi Weaselboy
It has OS X Yosemite

Hi Weaselboy
It has OS X Yosemite

That should be okay since that Mac shipped with Yosemite 10.10.2. I thought the drive hardware was compatible on those two, but I may be wrong. Maybe somebody else can jump in here and confirm.

The drives are compatible between the two.

Maybe he needs to upgrade the OS.

- Does it also have at least Yosemite 10.10.2?

Further, if you start up the 2015 with 2013 drive in Internet Recovery, does Disk Utility read the disk properly?

The drive is physically compatible, but the OS is either corrupted or the wrong version.

Scroll about halfway down, I think this is probably what you're seeing:

- Yes. Could you try what I mentioned and confirm the exact OS X version for us?
Internet Recovery is accessed by holding down Cmd + Alt + R at the startup chime.

Thanks to everybody for their help, it worked perfect in recovery mode like JTToft said.
