Q: install osx laptop to laptop
I've erased a hardrive on one MacBook and forgot to reinstall OSX before shutting down. I now have the flashing question mark folder.
I'd like to reinstall OSX from my other MacBook if it's possible. I can't find my installation disks anywhere. But the live MacBook doesn't even recognize the dead one in the Finder as a simple drive (connected via ThunderBolt cable).
Can I download OSX to an external drive and boot from there?
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Exactly what is the model of each laptop? Is the "dead" one post 2010/2011? After connecting by Thunderbolt cable did you boot the "dead" one into Target Disk Mode?
