0 bytes disk while booting Boot Camp in Parallels?

    I've been using Parallels Desktop 5 on a trial for a week. So far it works brilliantly, but with one annoying snag.

    I have OS X 10.6.2 and Boot Camp (Win XP SP3 with Boot Camp 3.0 drivers installed) set up on a MacBook Pro. Every time the Boot Camp partition boots up in Parallels, a 0 bytes local disk volume appears in the explorer along with the windows volume and it has a filesystem as RAW. When trying to access it I got told that the disk in drive D is not formatted and offered to format it. Disk Management (in Win) indicates this is in fact the Macintosh partition.

    The problem appears in my PD 4 first, when I upgraded from OS X 10.5.8 to 10.6 and had Boot Camp 3 drivers installed in Windows. Then, when PD 5 was released, I removed PD 4 following this guide (http://kb.parallels.com/en/5714), deleted the bootcamp.pvm file and installed 5.0 with trial, but the 0 bytes disk persists.

    Has there anyone else encountered this problem? A solution is highly appreciated!
