I will refine my statement again :

steps is simple : if its single domain controller

case 1: you want to format the present Dc .l
1. Backup the present Active directory using windows backup and then restore it .
restore is done by the directory restore mode ..
explore here: IFM media option
other wise:
you can go for replication

1. demote the server which you want to replicate as AD .
say by using command : dcpromo /force removal
2.remove any traces of the AD  from the system,reboot.
3. once this is done , you get a system withno AD ,now connect the networkingan every thing . promote the system a DC using dcpromo .
4. the system wil replicate .

note: if any fsmo role errors will be shown while demoting the server .

so check your topology and then
perform actions

if you want further help ...we are here ..
