If you have Win2000+, and no NT-BDCs then you don't
have a PDC and BDC but rather just DCs.

The key is that either of those can be master of your
domain and you willl lose little or nothing. (Only the
latest changes perhaps, but even that is unlikely.)

How i make my promoted DC a forest.

? You said you had a Forest????

You have a forest if you have even one Win2000+
Domain Controller.

Or any other help to avoid the recreation a new domain. coz i have 230
computers on my domain.

Do you have any of the DCs? Or the DC backups?

If not, you have lost the Domain and the Forest.

If you want help you really need to read the responses
on the newsgroups -- so that we all can help in combination
and so that others may learn and benefit from the answers.
