1. You can't have 2 PDCs on the same domain.  One Primary domain controller
per domain but you can have an unlimited number of BDCs.

2. You can't convert a PDC to BDC.  The demote option appears only in
special cases which I wouldn't go into here.  You can, however, promote a BDC
to a PDC.

3. Assuming that  you have two PDCs, it follows that you also have 2 domains.
 Decide which one you want to keep then reinstall NT on the other one.  Then
you can make it a BDC for the existing PDC providing the PDC is up and running
and has valid network connection.
