Thanks.

I now find that, when I copy (or cut) the re-con folder from SUBJECTS_DIR to the shared folder (with XP), it seems that no changes happen - the file format remains the same.

But if I restart the Xubuntu, and copy (or cut) this re-con folder from shared folder back to SUBJECTS_DIR, then the file format automatically changes and the re-con results can not be recognized. This is quite odd...

I have to move the re-con results to the shared folder because in the Xubuntu FSV5.1.0 virtual hard disk the space is only 10G. So to me now, if I can expand the disk to, say for example, 50G, then at least I don't need to move the re-con results but just save them in SUBJECTS_DIR, and so the file formats will not change.

I meant for you to cat them and put them in the text of the email. Something is badly wrong with them. They should be simple text files with a 4x3 matrix and a couple of header lines. Not sure what happened but you will need to delete them and regenerat them

Dear Bruce,

Yes, sure. I printed the screens and showed you two cases. One can be
recognized, the other one can not. Please find attached for the six
figures. I also attached the files talairach.xfm and
talairach.auto.xfm for the subject linziyi.

One more question: how to extend the hard disk space in Xubuntu,
especially in the folder /home/virtualuser/freesurfer/subjects ? If
possible, I don't want to move the data to the shared folder and then
face such problem.

Sorry I am quite new to Linux so some questions may be quite stupid.

Thank you very much!
