Hi Hidayath, I have met similar troubles to yours. It could be caused by low contrast of your T1 images where GM and WM were hardly separable, or by bad orientation. For the latter case, you may reoriente you T1 images using SPM. Below is what SPM manual tells: " Segmentation can sometimes fail if the source (structural) image is not close in orientation to the MNI templates. It is generally advisable to manually orient the structural to match the template (ie MNI space) as close as possible by using the "Display" button, adjusting x/y/z/pitch/roll/yaw, and then pressing the "Reorient" button. " Hope it help.
