    I use Parallels (Version 4.0.3844.409800 - German) with a MacPro. This device includes 2 HDs with media-identification disk0 and disk1, which are identical at size and brand.
    disk0 = WDC WD6400AAKS-41H2B0 (2 partitions: MacintoshHD = disk0s2 and Bootcamp = disk0s3)
    disk1 = WDC WD6400AAKS-41H2B0 (3 partitions: such as aa = disk1s2, bb = disk1s3 and cc = disk1s4)

    Each the second or third time, when I started Parallels it does not find the right volume. It tries to start with the partition disk1s3 (which does not includes Bootcamp) instead of disk0s3.
    So it cannot find a system, and freezes. I have deleted the virtual machine and created a new one with the extistent Bootcamp partition.
    That is no a big problem but an inconveniently job.
    Here are the config.pvs lines:
    Section HDD:
    <Hdd>
    <Index>0</Index>
    <Enabled>1</Enabled>
    <Connected>1</Connected>
    <EmulatedType>3</EmulatedType>
    <SystemName>WDC WD6400AAKS-41H2B0.hdd</SystemName>
    <UserFriendlyName>WDC WD6400AAKS-41H2B0</UserFriendlyName>
    <Remote>0</Remote>
    <InterfaceType>0</InterfaceType>
    <StackIndex>0</StackIndex>
    <DiskType>1</DiskType>
    <Size>610480</Size>
    <SizeOnDisk>0</SizeOnDisk>
    <Passthrough>0</Passthrough>
    <Splitted>0</Splitted>
    <DiskVersion>2</DiskVersion>
    <Partition>
    <SystemName>/dev/disk0s3</SystemName>
    </Partition>
    </Hdd>

    What can I do, so that Parallels will find the right partition by itsself?
