Parallels confused about two hardly identical HDs

I use Parallels (Version 4.0.3844.409800 - German) with a MacPro. This device includes 2 HDs with media-identification disk0 and disk1, which are identical at size and brand.
disk0 = WDC WD6400AAKS-41H2B0 (2 partitions: MacintoshHD = disk0s2 and Bootcamp = disk0s3)
disk1 = WDC WD6400AAKS-41H2B0 (3 partitions: such as aa = disk1s2, bb = disk1s3 and cc = disk1s4)

Each the second or third time, when I started Parallels it does not find the right volume. It tries to start with the partition disk1s3 (which does not includes Bootcamp) instead of disk0s3.
So it cannot find a system, and freezes. I have deleted the virtual machine and created a new one with the extistent Bootcamp partition.
That is no a big problem but an inconveniently job.
Here are the config.pvs lines:
Section HDD:
<Hdd>
<Index>0</Index>
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
<Connected>1</Connected>
<EmulatedType>3</EmulatedType>
<SystemName>WDC WD6400AAKS-41H2B0.hdd</SystemName>
<UserFriendlyName>WDC WD6400AAKS-41H2B0</UserFriendlyName>
<Remote>0</Remote>
<InterfaceType>0</InterfaceType>
<StackIndex>0</StackIndex>
<DiskType>1</DiskType>
<Size>610480</Size>
<SizeOnDisk>0</SizeOnDisk>
<Passthrough>0</Passthrough>
<Splitted>0</Splitted>
<DiskVersion>2</DiskVersion>
<Partition>
<SystemName>/dev/disk0s3</SystemName>
</Partition>
</Hdd>

What can I do, so that Parallels will find the right partition by itsself?
