Hi!
I was using Bootcamp XP Pro VM in coherence mode without any problems.
I upgraded to PD7, and now when i try to start Bootcamp in VM mode windows is not able to start up and says, still in dos mode that it cannot access the drive it is meant to run from. (sorry for not posting actual message, but it is in polish)

Help! I cannot work without Parallels!
 
I managed to fix it soi ll post solution for my problem in case someone else has the same problem.

I went to
Virtual Machine/Configure/Hardware/Hard Disk 1

I had 2 entries in Source. They had the same number and one of them had (disk0) in the name displayed, but the other one was selected. I selected the one with disk0 and restarted VM and it worked fine.
 
Managed to fix it by going to

Virtual Machine menu, selecting Configure, then going to hardware/ hard disk 1.

THere were two entries for the source - their had the same disk ID - one had "disk0" added to the name, but the other one was selected. I selected the one with disc0 and reboot VM and it worked fine.

Problem solved for me, posting solution in case someone else will encounter similar problem.
