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.

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> Mahmoud

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,
My experience was with Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit on VMWare Workstation 10.0.2. It might not work with other versions. The host OS was Win7 64-bit
Have you verified that the "Shared Folders" is enabled before starting up the Ubuntu ? You may verify that before powering on the Ubuntu. VM--->Settings--->Options--->Shared Folders = Enabled
Hope this helps.
