External Email - Use Caution

Dear Krystal,

FreeSurfer does not know about hard disks, the operating system is responsible for that. In this case the problem most likely is with the Virtual Machine (VM), which needs to get access to the hard disk.

You should be able to make a folder on your host system (the physical machine) available to the VM system somehow in the VM software. It should not matter which harddisk that folder is on. This is sometimes called 'mounting' the folder. Once you can see the folder inside the VM, FreeSurfer will also be able to see it. Good luck!

Hi FreeSurfer experts,

I’m trying to open nifty/ DICOM files, which are stored in a hard drive (SEAGATE - Backup Plus Hub; Model: SRD0PV1). However, the files cannot be found in any of the folders on Freesurfer 7.1.0 of which operates on Visual Machine on Window 10.

May I know whether I should:

1. Import those folders to Freesurfer for viewing at Freeview; or
2. Set anything for opening the files directly from the hard drive?

Please kindly advise. Thanks a lot.

Best regards, Krystal
