Before attempting an import, try just browsing to the location via the web.

Your URL is actually http://192.168.10.10/REPOS/REPOS - the first
REPOS is for the Location directive in Apache, the second one is the
repository to look for on the filesystem itself (under the
SVNParentPath).

BTW, I'd recommend creating a directory under C:\ and making *that*
your SVNParentPath, instead of opening up the entire root of your
drive as that. For example, I have:

E:\Repositories\Production
E:\Repositories\Test
E:\Repositories\Documentation

For the 3 repositories I'm running. My Apache config is (in part):

<Location /Repos>
  SVNParentPath E:/Repositories
</Location>

Then I access my repositories by:
http://server/Repos/Production
http://server/Repos/Test
http://server/Repos/Documentation
