    If you already have a Windows 7 installation on your Mac on a Boot Camp partition then don't use the install option when you create the virtual machine.

    Try this in Parallels Desktop: click File menu -> select New... -> click Skip Detection in Operating System Detection -> select Windows 7 in Select Operating System Type and Version -> click Custom in Virtual Machine Type -> setup the CPU and Memory Options -> select Boot Camp Partition for Hard Disk Options -> select the disk and partitions for Boot Camp Disk -> finish the rest of the settings.

    If that works then right click the old virtual machine in the Virtual Machine List and select delete and choose to move it to the trash.

    Are you using the latest Parallels Desktop 5 build 9370?

    Does your Windows 7 work correctly without problem when you boot the Mac to the Boot Camp partition? If it boots ok that way then it should boot ok in Parallels Desktop. If the Mac does not boot ok to the Boot Camp partition then you should try to fix that first before trying to boot the Boot Camp partition in Parallels Desktop.

    Have you ever successfully booted the Windows 7 partition in Parallels Desktop? Did you install Parallels Tools yet? If so, then try removing Parallels Tools when you boot your Mac using the Boot Camp partition.

    How is your disk partitioned? Use the following commands in the Mac OS X Terminal.app to find out:
    Code:
    diskutil list
    sudo gpt -r show -l disk0
    sudo fdisk /dev/rdisk0

    What happens when you click Yes to finish the repair?
