Timed out waiting for file system to initialize

When I installed Parallels to use my WinXP Boot Camp partition, I got an error message reading that more than one Windows partition was found, and that it was not a standard Boot Camp configuration. I posted that error on this forum and got the solution to customize the configuration using disk utility(click here for the solution). Following this solution seems to have fixed my problem, as now I can run Windows, but I get another error when Windows finishes loading:
[C] My Boot Camp - Timed out waiting for the file system to initialize. The volume has been ejected. You can use the init_timeout mount option to wait longer.
Click to expand...
And my Windows partition is unmounted from OS X

Please help! Thank you.

Hello,

before starting Parallels please go in Finder. There you will see your Boot Camp partition. Please right-click on it and select 'Eject'. After that please try to start your VM again.

Best regards,
Stacey
