I had a design master and 4 replicas. I was able to synchronize the 4 replicas with no problems but when I went to synch with the design master it failed. So I deleted it thinking I could take one of the existing replicas and promote it to the design master. After I do that would I create another replica to replace the one that I promoted to the design master? Or instead, should I create another replica from an existing replica (can I do this?) and then promote the new replica to the design master? I hope I was able to explain my problem clearly. I would appreciate anyone's help. I just can't seem to get this process to work smoothly. Does anyone know of any books that focus on this process (replication and sychronization)? Thanks Again!

Yes, and after I recover the DM (using a replica), should I then create another replica from the newly converted DM? I need to replace the replica that was converted to the DM.
Should I have not deleted the old DM in the first place?
I have a print out of that white paper and it's been very helpful. Thanks!
