Parallels 6 - can't boot up Win 7

I normally run Windows 7 on my Macbook via BootCamp and use it every day for work and it has all my files there. I rarely boot up OSX but last week I did and installed Parallels 6.

Ever since I did this, I can't boot up Windows 7 (holding down Alt and chhosing a startup disk). Instead I get a black screen and an error message saying 'A disk read error occoured. Press Ctrl Alt Delete. Doing that produces no results.

Have I lost my Windows 7 partition and files?

Also, when I am choosing a new VM in Paralelles, there is no option to choose a BootCamp partition. I usually select an option which reads 'Choose later' and then in the preferences, under HD1 I target the Windows partition. Paralells wont boot up my VM that way either.

Please help. Have raised a support ticket via Parallels several days ago but have not yet heard anything back.
