Im trying to set up a Boot Campbased Vista VM in Parallels 3.0 (build 5160). My system is a MacBook Pro that natively triple boots OS X 10.5.2 Leopard, Vista Ultimate and Ubuntu 7.10.

When I try to boot the VM, I get the following error message:
More than one Windows partitions are found. This is not a standard Boot Camp configuration. Please refer to the Parallels Desktop for Mac User Guide, Using Boot Camp Windows XP Installation chapter for instructions on how to configure Parallels virtual machine in case of a non-standard Boot Camp configuration on your Macintosh computer.

The problem with this is that there is no section in the Parallels Desktop for Mac User Guide titled Using Boot Camp Windows XP Installation.

I know there are qualifiers I can add to the [IDE Devices] section of the .pvs file where it presently says Disk 0:0 image = Boot Camp, but I dont know what they are. My harddrive layout is as follows (sorry, the columns get lost in the formatting and whitespace parsing):
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *232.9 Gi disk0
1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Fire 150.4 Gi disk0s2
3: Microsoft Basic Data 50.7 Gi disk0s4
4: Microsoft Basic Data -n Forge 31.6 Gi disk0s3
Click to expand...
Slice 2 (disk0#2; disk0s2) is my HFS+ OS X partition, slice 3 (disk0#4; disk0s3) is my NTFS Vista partition and slice 4 (disk0#3; disk0s4) is my Ext3 Linux partition.

Any help on additional configuration for the .pvs file would be appreciated. Thanks,

In the .pvs file make sure the [IDE devices] section looks like this and it should work:

Disk 0:0 enabled = 1
Disk 0:0 = 1
Disk 0:0 media = 1
Disk 0:0 connected = 1
Disk 0:0 image = Boot Camp;disk0s3
Disk 0:0 cylinders = 0
Disk 0:0 heads = 0
Disk 0:0 sectors = 0
Disk 0:1 enabled = 0
Disk 0:1 = 0
Disk 1:0 enabled = 1
Disk 1:0 = 2
Disk 1:0 media = 1
Disk 1:0 connected = 0
Disk 1:0 image = Default CD/DVD-ROM
Disk 1:1 enabled = 0
Disk 1:1 = 0
