Hi Catherine You need to mount the external harddisk inside the virtualbox and give its path as $SUBJECTS_DIR.
The path starting with E:\data\.. is how Windows 7 sees the harddisk. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this. * The hardwork is to make the Guest OS ( ubuntu in this case ) see the external harddisk. Here is a start -- http://superuser.com/questions/87221/how-can-i-mount-an-external-hard-drive-in-a-virtualbox-machine * once the Guest OS sees it, you need to know where it's mounted ( if it's done automatically ) or use the mount command to mount it to a location like /media/external * Then your $SUBJECTS_DIR will be setenv $SUBJECTS_DIR /media/external/data/Ventricle-freesurfer/...... etc. also recommend you to read the "Shared Folders" section in the VirtualBox user manual http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/UserManual.pdf -Krish On Sat, Apr 23, 2011 at 11:12:53AM -0400 Bruce Fischl wrote: > Hi Catherine > > I don't have much experience with virtual boxes, but I suspect that > is the windows name for the path, not the unix one in the virtual > box.
