Bootcamp partition is not recognised in PD3 & 4

Hi everybody!
Could you give me some advice on the following issue?

Once when I started a virtual machine with WinXP based on my bootcamp I got a message that the harddrive could not be found. I ve tried deleting the VM, but after that when I manually create a new VM from bootcamp I am getting the following error message (attached PD4 9168) Tried installing PD3 but it shows an other error for bootcamp (attached PD3 5608). I dont remember installing new software to either WinXP or MacOS; or doing any serious changes to the system before it went wrong. Maybe only some automatic security updates in windows.
Is there a way of making windows run again in any version of PD without reinstalling the OS?
Thanks.

please provide me output for following command in Terminal
for n in `diskutil list |grep -v /| grep disk | awk '{ print $NF }'`; do diskutil info $n; done; diskutil list
 
Delete old Boot Camp Virtual Machine and create new Virtual machine
Note, for Parallels Desktop version 4, I assume you are using build 3540
 
Also in Terminal please try to perform following command

mv "/Library/Parallels/Parallels Service.app/Contents/MacOS/BootcampConfigurator" "/Library/Parallels/Parallels Service.app/Contents/MacOS/BootcampConfigurator.old"
and Start Parallels Desktop
