Unfortunately Windows XP SP3 is no longer Tier-1 supported for VirtualBox.

I suggest you to try it on Windows 7 or Windows 8.

cheers

Carissa,

Unfortunately I dont think we can help with this problem, as we currently do not have the resources to support the Windows VM instance. However, an alternative that has worked for others is to do the following: install the FSL Windows VM, described here:

http://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki/FslInstallation/Windows

once that is up-and-running, then within that linux instance, just download and install our linux centos 4 freesurfer build. this also means you can update to v5.2 when that is released in a couple weeks.

Hi there,

My operating system is Windows XP SP3 and it has been loaded with VirtualBox 4.2.6 for Windows hosts and we would like to run freesurfer-Virtualbox-linux-x86-stable-pub-v5.1.0-full.vdi. But when we attempt to launch FreeSurfer, the terminal seems to hang with the following message:

GRUB loading stage 1.5

GRUB loading, please wait...

Would you kindly help us on how to overcome this problem? I thank you in advance for your kind attention.

Best regards,

Carissa
