Unable to connect Hard Disk 1

Using Parallels 4 RTM build on my BootCamp partition. Everything was running fine, but then I rebooted the Virtual Machine (using the Restart option from Parallels I think), and when the bios came back up I now get the error "Unable to connect Hard Disk 1". It appears my boot camp partition is now read-only.

What happened? How do I fix it? How do I avoid this happening again in the future?

Thanks! Was loving it up to that point.

Try this thread: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=31209
 
-Edit /Users/<user>/Documents/Parallels/<VM Name>.pvm/config.pvs
-In the <hdd> section, find <SystemName>
-Change "/dev/disk0" or a similar value to the full path of the disk
image in the same directory. In my case it was "/Users/<USER>/
Documents/Parallels/My Boot Camp.pvm/FUJITSU MHV2080BH.hdd"
E.g to HD file in pvm budle
-Restart the VM
Should be like this
<SystemName>/Users/john/Documents/Parallels/My Boot Camp.pvm/FUJITSU MHV2080BH.hdd</SystemName>

Be carefull[/QUOTE

Bingo! That did the trick. Thanks.
