Remove AD from DC in safe mode

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

We have a DC that we recently promoted from a 2003 server last week.
Tonight it crashed , after reboot it seems to have lost all network cards.
They show up in device manager but not in network connections.
Is there a way I can uninstall AD from this server in safe mode? It isnt a
FSMO and we have 2 others.
I know I will need to remove this DC 's reference from another DC. I
havent been able to do anything as long as it
still thinks it is a DC.

Thanks and Kindf regards

Carla
