Recommended is to have a BDC which you can promote as PDC \save data from old PDC(actually BDC)\reinstall as BDC (with partitions as you wish)\recover data\Promote as PDC.(easily is to use a backup application capable to save/restore the permissionsfor saved data)

I am forced few years ago to do this on a NT4.0 Server without a BDC. Without a BDC you can try (but is dangerous, I don't recommend) to make a full backup\reinstall OS and all application\restore from backup (this depends by yourbackup application if it is capable to save \ restore: registry, permissions, etc.).If you failed then you must to reestablish all trust relationship between computers and domain, accounts of the users, permissions, shares, etc.
Maybe you find someavailable space on another partition or you can install another HDD.
Also you can limit the space allocated for profiles or ...
Personal I don?t recommend to use application like or others on critical servers as PDC.
