Hi Bruce,
Thank you for your quick response. Attached are photos in number order which should help to explain my situation. The first three photos depict the tutorial data as they are downloaded into my computer. Photo 4 illustrates the version of Freesurfer that I am using. Photos 5 and 6 express how the downloaded tutorial data folder has been shared to Freesurfer. Photo 7 illustrates an example of the commands I have used. I have tried other pathways as well but am still unsure which the proper command should be. Unix is in fact new to me. Let me know if you require any other details. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Sincerely,

Hi Jason
can you elaborate about what you mean by you "cannot interact with the data"?
In general, please send us the full command you ran and all its screen output including whatever errros you encountered

To whom it may concern,
I am to attend the upcoming Freesurfer course session in Boston, and I would like to ask a few preliminary questions. I am currently attempting to run Freesurfer 5.3 on a windows unit via the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager. I have tried to follow the instructions of the tutorial thus far, but am having trouble properly downloading the tutorial data into Freesurfer (the data I am attempting to acquire can be found at http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/OutputData_freeview). I have tried setting up a shared folder and placing the data in a "Machine Folder", but I still cannot interact with the data. Do you know why this may be? I see that a license key must first be obtained in some instances; perhaps this is the reason there are issues. Also, what is the best way to download the most recent version of Freesurfer on windows? Thank you.
Sincerely,
