I have a Seagate 300G external HD connected to my iMac. The Seagate has three partitions, one of them is FAT32, the other two are Mac HFS. I have a Windows XP Pro VM created by pointing to the Boot Camp partition. Parallels is build 3150 RC2. With the external HD power off, I can start Windows VM and everything works fine. But with the external HD turned on, the Windows VM refuses to start with the following message: "More than one Windows partitions are found. This is not a standard Boot Camp configuration. Please refer to the Parallels Desktop for Mac User Guide, Using Boot Camp Windows XP Installation chapter for instructions on how to configure Parallels virtual machine in case of a non-standard Boot Camp configuration on your Macintosh computer." I got this error even after the external HD has been unmounted from OS/X, as long as it was powered on. Is there any solution to this? Is it a bug in Parallels? Thanks.
I have the same issue. Can't use bootcamp with with any firewire drive connected to my MacbookPro that has a pc partition on it. Disconnect drives and bootcamp starts up fine.
