How to delete failed DC

I have a two-site, single Active Diretory domain structure
at a medical clinic that I consult at. One site is the
main site, and it has two DC's. The second site is far
smaller, and there I had a DC that doubled as a print
server. The latter DC failed completely.

I purchased a new box, installed W2K server, and I intend
to install it on the site with as a replacement DC with
the same hostname so that I could restore printing to all
the clients at the site with as little trouble as possible.

Unfortunately, it seems that deleting the previous DC
account is problematic. I would like to know the best
proceedure for deleting the former DC's account and all
its metadata, so that I could replace it with its namesake.


Thanks beforehand,
