Target Disk Mode

[scott:mac]

Hey. Basically.

I want to use my MacBook (10.4) as a Hard Drive using target disk mode.

I am connecting it to my Mac Mini (10.5).
It is not showing up on my desktop.
Any reason why?

How are you connecting the two?

 

[scott:mac]

FireWire cable.

Are you booting the MB in TDM, or just connecting the two machines?

 

[scott:mac]

Booting in in TDM. 🙂

At the moment, my MB is on a grey screen, with a FireWire symbol bouncing.
And a battery symbol at the bottom.

My Mac Mini, is running normally, with no sign of a connected TDM.

It's in target mode, should show the drive in finder.
