I'm going to check with more ram dedicated.

Many Thanks

1.5GB is probably not enough. typically we recommend that recon-all have at least 3GB available to it, which can be very hard to do on a virtual machine (since windows takes 1GB, the vm linux takes another 1GB, which leaves 2GB for processes). i would setup your vm to use the maximum memory allowed (just dont run stuff in windows at the same time).

I'm working with a virtual machine on a 32 bit computer with 4GB of RAM(2-core Intel processor 2.00 GHz). I raised the ram dedicated to the virtual machine to 1,5 GB: this is the max value permitted before the selecting bar of the virtual box changes from green to red (is it sufficent?)

I have free space for data.

Can you help me in solving this problem?

Thanks

Ops.. I'm sorry.. the selecting bar of our virtual box changes from green to red at 5.4 GB (not 4 GB.. i was wrong!)

but if i allocate more than 3.5 GB it does not start!

Thanks!

*No.. it doesn't work. The RAM is not enough.

We abandoned that machine..

Now we are working with a 64 Bit Computer Dual-core CPU @ 2.10 GHz with 8 GB of RAM.

And.. IT WORKS!!!!!

We completed the autorecon1, autorecon2 and autorecon3 stages with succes!!

We use a virtual box under Windows 7 bat we are not able to allocate more than 3.5 GB to run freesurfer.

At that hight the selecting bar of the virual box is still green (it becomes red near 4 GB) but passing 3.5 GB the virtual box does not start

and it returns the following error

Opening a session for virtual machine frees2 failed.

VT-x is not available. (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX).

Unknown error creating VM (VM_VMX_NO_VMX).

Output Code:

E_FAIL (0x80004005)

Component:

Console

Interface:

IConsole {515e8e8d-f932-4d8e-9f32-79a52aead882}

What does it means?

Thanks!!
