Question : Dead Domain Controller - Only Controller

I have a small domain - windows 2000 domain. The only domain controller completely died. Everything burned to the ground (backup burned - computer burned - drive burned). The network is 10 XP pro clients. We also have Windows 2003 server that is a file server only. What is my best option for creating a new active directory?

When I run the Active Directory Installation Wizard:
1) Should I create NEW DOMAIN CONTROLLER - first contoller for domain
2) or Should I create ADDITIONAL DOMAIN CONTROLLER (even thou no domain exists now??)

Answer : Dead Domain Controller - Only Controller

Take the computers off the old domain and put them in a work group. get the new domain up. then re add them. once they are on the new domain you can take the files off the old profile and bring them to the new profile. i'm sure users will get crabby if their Excel icon isn't in the exact spot they left them.
unless these are all new computers. then there is nothing to worry about.
