What tool are you going to use? Server Magic does this and does not loose
data. I have used it several times and it works great. It is always a little
scary to do but I have had great luck with this product. Of course make sure
that you have good and current backups :)

This cannot be done natively with NT. Server Magic is not free. I do not
know of a free one. Here's the link to this product.

http://www.powerquest.com/servermagic/ - Probably can get a discounted
price at a vendor like Insight.com or CDW....
