My bootcamp install of windows crashed so I figured I would reinstall under Parallels. I am not exactly happy with Parallels as I have a Macbook and the performance is negotiable. I would like to migrate my Parallels Windows to a Bootcamp windows.. Is this possible?

The other way around works-I do it that way with my MacBook Pro. But since your current Windows install crashed, you might to well to use the Boot Camp Utility to do away with the existing Boot Camp partition and start again. Once you have Windows running that way, install Parallels and have it build its virtual machine around your Boot Camp partition. As I say, it works nicely for me.
