NT4 PDC crash

We have an NT domain, 1 PDC, 2 BDC (of which the replication ring was never set up properly). The PDC died. The 2 BDCs cannot be promoted to PDC as the PDC for the domain is not found. Users cannot see the domain. I would like to promote 1 of the BDCs to PDC. Anyone have any ideas ??

You can promote the BDC's, that "error" message you get when doing it is a little confusing, but that's what keeps us computer guys in business, right? Here is that message translation: "no PDC found, GOOD! - go ahead and promote, but remember if the PDC comes back on line while this one is up, you will have 2 PDC's, BAD!"
