Unfortunately your current partition setup cannot work because Windows uses a Master Boot Record (MBR) and when you created your partitions using Windows tools they were written to the MBR but not to the GUID Partition Table (GPT) that OS X uses. This means that you will need to repartition using diskutil in OS X before you can use your Boot Camp partitions with Parallels.
Here's the procedure you need to follow:
1. Backup all your Windows data.
2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to restore your disk to one partition. (this will erase your Windows partitions so don't do this until you have backed up your data!)
3. Reboot.
4. Open the Terminal (in Applications > Utilities) from an administrator account and type
Code:
sudo diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 28G
and hit return. Type in your password and hit return.
5. Reboot.
6. Open the Terminal from an administrator account and type
Code:
sudo diskutil resizeVolume disk0s2 28G "MS-DOS FAT32" "Windows C Drive" 40.7G "MS-DOS FAT32" "Windows D Drive" 80G
and hit return. Type in your password and hit return.
7. Reboot.
8. Install Windows on the 40.7 GB partition by booting onto the Windows install DVD (you can reformat the 40.7 GB and 80 GB partitions as NTFS if you want).
I haven't tested that myself, but it is based on triple boot instructions for Boot Camp and should work for the partition setup you want. If you are told that you have multiple Boot Camp partitions after you have done this, use this script to reconfigure your virtual machine to work with your partition setup (or alternatively you can configure this yourself).
