Hi Mahmoud,


Thank you for your clear and thorough response. I followed the steps exactly as 
you suggested and everything up to step 6 seemed to work fine. However after 
trying to mount the shared folder (step 6) I get an error message that "No such 
device found".

Any comments/thoughts appreciated.



Regards,

Negar

Negar,

I remember I had the same problem and it wasn't straight forward for me. Try 
this and see what happens:


1- First share it through Machine-> settings->Shared folders

2- Then run this command in terminal: sudo apt-get install

3- Then run sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-x11

4- Restart the Ubuntu

5- Make a new directory under /media . The directory name must be the same as 
what you choose in step 1

6- While in /media, run the

sudo mount –t vboxsf <shared_folder_name> /media/<shared_folder_name>

Hi,



I'm using Freesurfer5.3 using virtual box on Windows 7, and need to be able to 
access/transfer my DICOM data from my windows hard drive to the 
freesurfer/subjects folder in the virtual box. There is unfortunately no help 
documentation on the quick install webpage for accessing shared drives from 
host on the guest (virtual box). I've tried "Insert Guest Additions CD image" 
from the "Devices" tab in virtual box, but the executable files in that folder 
(e.g., VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe) do not run. I'd appreciate any help.
