As you can see when you do:

*C:\Users\Julio>cd E:/VMD/nanotubes-files*

your next prompt still reads this

*C:\Users\Julio>*

when it should read

*E:\VMD\nanotubes-files>*

in short your attempt at changing path doesn't work. Meaning when you run
NAMD, it tries to look for the conf file in the wrong folder and hence
fail.

Solution: Make sure you are in the same folder as your conf file before you
run NAMD.
