I can't mount my macbook on my G4dual in target mode( the macbook is to be seen on the G4dual)

this had been working fine.

firewire from MB to G4duaal, then hold down the T and boot the MB

on the G4 i open the disk utility and the two partitions on the MB appear, but don't see the HD images to open them

'mount point' says /volumes/Macintosh HD

thats the HD name on the MB

any help appreciated

cheers

Have you unplugged and replugged? Usually you should enter TDM before attaching the cable to another machine.

after repairing the target disk from the G4 and unmounting from G4 I turned off the MB and tried several times and finally got the target HD up

but its not consistent

so you think I turn the machine on to target mode Then connect the firewire cable?

its interesting to note that even though the two HD on the MB show up under the G4 systen profiler they do not always appear on the G4 desk top

are there other utilities that mount/ unmount? the apple ones in this case are not reliable

there used to be something from LaCie

Il have to seach there later

anyone know of any?

cheers
