    Hi,

    I just got the new Macbook Air and installed Windows 7 using bootcamp. But when trying to add the boot camp partition in parallels I get the error:

    "A disk configuration error has occurred. Make sure that you have read/write permissions for the disk."

    I'm on trial right now and want to buy parallels, but bootcamp has to work for me to buy it. Can somebody please help?

    Well I found the solution, but not thanks to the "awesome" support of Parallels.

    You have to boot into windows and change the name of the partition to "Bootcamp".

    Ridiculous bug and even more ridiculous that it's not documented anywhere..
