Unable to start v 4.0 because it can't find my boot camp drive

I submitted an error report, report number 10813.

I am trying to access my boot camp partition and I get the same error that I have seen on this board where parallels is unable to find hard disk 1 and gives me an error message that I might not have the proper read/write permissions to the drive.

Now here is the funny thing. When I upgraded from version 3.0 to version 4.0 parallels was able to find the hard drive no problem. The problems started after I shut down the virtual machine and told parallels to use 4 of my CPU cores. After that I haven't been able to access my boot camp partition through parallels.

I am able to restart my mac and boot into my boot camp partition without a problem.

Oh and one more thing, today I started to get a new error message that my network settings were messed up and parallels will start without enabling the network stack.
