I deleted my bootcamp partition for various reasons. Can I just create a new partition using disk utility and restore the bootcamp image to it?
I would suggest using disc utility first to eliminate the existing BootCamp partition. Then start over with a new partition, either with BootCamp or manually.
So you can create the bootcamp partition manually and then restore to it?

I’d still recommend create to partition using Bootcamp.
The problem is that for some reason, Bootcamp assistant keeps reporting that it cannot create the partition. So after it stopped, I saw it had created the bootcamp partition plus a small osx reserved partition. I deleted the osx reserved and restored to the bootcamp partition and it worked.
I tried all the steps I could find on the web to make Bootcamp assistant work, to no avail.

I posted this to the forum, but here it is again in case I didn’t get it in the right place.
Here is a possible solution. Use a real PC. Make sure you can get the drivers for it.
Restore your windows installation to it using Macrium Reflect.

When (and if) it boots, sysprep it.
clone it.
use winclone to make an image of it.
Use winclone to restore the image to bootcamp.
I have used the technique to attempt to import a parallels vm into bootcamp, but sysprep did not work on the vm, so it would not fully boot. But I think that if sysprep works, the rest will also.
Let me know if you see any flaws in the idea, and if not, if it works.
Good luck.
