Lost partitions after converting Bootcamp to Parallels

Hi!

I installed Bootcamp on my MAC. Windows 7 Pro with 3 partitions (C, D and E).
And then I have installed Paralells 7 which has converted the Bootcamp disk to a virtual Parallels disk. So far so good.

I have booted the Windows OS and logged in. Now the C-partition is OK but the other partitions (D and E) are not visible/bootable/reachable right now.
When I go to Disk Management in the Parellels/Windows environment i see all the disks in one partition (the diskspace equals the total storage of all partitions).

When I add a new disk via Configuration of Parallels the disks c,d,e are greyed out. I also tried the Parellels Mounter. This says "Boot Camp partitions are not supported by Parallels Mounter".

Now I would like to mount the other partitions (D and E). Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I know that this topic is a little bit old, but i have the same problem.
I have installed Windows 8.1 on Boot Camp Partition (NTFS - only 1 partition C ), and after I was trying to emulate it by Pararells 9 on my MAC ( I was using BootCamp Windows ). Everything works fine but...
Everytime I run Windows by Pararells, my Windows disks disapear form MAC desktop and Finder until I close it. If I'am not using it, I see them all the time.

It there any solution of this problem. I'rather to be able to run Windows on my MAC not only by Pararells but I have to be able to acces my windows disk when using Pararells at the same time.

Thank you in advance for your reply.
