"Unable to open disk image Boot Camp!"

I installed a new partition of Windows XP, and after the installation was complete, I didn't install anything else in Windows and I booted into Mac OS X right away, started up Parallels, changed the HD to the Boot Camp partition, and then I receive the error message:

"Unable to open disk image Boot Camp!"

Why do I get this? The drive is NTFS, there is no Parallels Tools in it, etc.
Also, the installation of this copy of Windows did not require a serial key; could that be the reason?

Thanks in advance!
 
Question

I have a question.
My related person says similer issue.
And his environment has more than two partition in the HDD.
It means the HDD has other than one partition for bootcamp and one partition for mac os x.
Is your situation similer?

No. I only have the Mac OS X partition and one Windows partition.
 
same problem here

using a volume license install of XP Pro SP2. (I posted the details of my configuration previously). It seems the unifying factor is the volume license stuff.

Any workaround would be great. I'd love to be able to switch back and forth between Parallels when I don't need the extra umph and Boot Camp when I want games or whatever and direct access to the graphics card (and the blackberry which for now does not seem to work with parallels.)
