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
