Q: how to use a laptop as a hard drive

Hi,

 

I was recently at a one-on-one session and switched my pictures from my old apple laptop to my new iMac.  My laptop is old, but I was told that I can still use it  as a hard drive by pressing the letter "t" at startup which puts it in target mode.  I also need a firewire with an adapter to transfer items to my iMac.  I recently purchased software that requires you use a disc for installation with a DVD drive.  I do not have a disk drive on my iMac.  Can I use the laptop's driver and the laptop as a hard drive and load that software on my iMac.  If so, how?

 

Thanks!

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
