As I've been taught and someone (I think) has already said:
NT Servers can be: Primary DC, Backup DC, and stand alone
A Backup DC be promoted to a Primary DC. Primary DC's are always Primary
DC's. Your only solution is to reinstall.
Sorry if it's redundant. Glad to finally contribute.

I beleive you can turn a PDC to stadalone but not the other way around..
Its always better to re-install NT anyway, as you donno what leftover junk
from being a PDC is laying around the registry waiting to bite you
later..
