Rescuing files off an eMac

K.O.Kiki · 2009-08-19 10:14:42

Hi guys, I'm going to be trying to rescue the photos off my grandad's eMac, as the OS doesn't boot up anymore. Do you think it would be enough to connect his machine with my MBP, and start the eMac in "Target Disk" mode? Or do I need to do something else?

No, target disk mode should work fine provided the hdd is healthy.
