Goto

Start
Run
type
SRVMGR.EXE
click OK

<Server Manager opens>

Find your current BDC in the list

Highlight it by clicking once on it

click Computer on the menu bar

select "Promote to primary domain controller"
 
It works, thank you Steve.
By the way, after the original BDC's being promoted to PDC, will the
original PDC automatically be demoted to a BDC? or another?

You can only have one PDC in an NT4 Domain.

Cheers,

Yes, NT domains only allow for 1 PDC but many BDC's
