If the target disk is FileVault encrypted, you’ll be asked to enter a password to unlock the disk and mount it. Select that volume and then choose File > Mount from the menu bar. The target disk should appear as a volume in the Disk Utility sidebar. In addition, each Mac must use the same port, for example, if you boot the target disk using Thunderbolt, both Macs must use Thunderbolt to connect to each other. Click the Startup Disk icon and afterward click on the Target Disk Mode button to restart your Mac in Target Disk Mode. Before you begin, make sure that both Mac computers have Firewire or ThunderBolt ports and that you have a Firewire or Thunderbolt cable.
