Windows 2008 recover a failed cluster node

Hi all,

I've a two node cluster build with Windows Server 2008 (no R2). The
quorum type is "node and disk majority". Now one of the two node goes
suddenly in blue screen, few minutes after it has started and I fear
that I've to format it. Anyone knows the correct procedure to evict the
node, rebuild it and rejoin to the cluster? The cluster is in a
production environment and I can't take the cluster offline for a long
period (maximum 1 hour).
Please help
