Just so you know... I guess you can't actually kill the time bomb forever :P, I guess my evaluation ran out last night and Now I get a Stop fatal sytem error, but this one is located on the Windows website

Evaluation Time Period
The evaluation version of Windows Server 2003 expires 180 days from the time that you install and start it. You are reminded periodically of the number of days that are remaining in the 180-day evaluation period. Messages are logged to the Application Event log, and you also receive notification messages that are similar to the following when you log on to the computer:
The evaluation period for this product will expire in Number days. Please upgrade this version to the retail product.
When the kernel time bomb period expires, you receive an error message that is similar to the following:
The evaluation period for this installation of Windows has expired. This system will shut down in 1 hour. To restore access to this installation of Windows, please upgrade this installation using a licensed distribution of this product.
After approximately one hour (this time period may vary), you may receive the following Stop error message, and the computer may automatically restart:
*** STOP: 0x00000098 (parameter1, parameter2, parameter 3, parameter 4)
END_OF_NT_EVALUATION_PERIOD
When the WPA time bomb period expires, you receive an error message after you log on to Windows that is similar to the following:
STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000268 (0x00000000 0x00000000).
The system has been shut down.
When you receive this error message, you can no longer use the evaluation copy of Windows Server 2003. You must obtain and install the retail, released version of Windows Server 2003.

Important You can log on to the computer in safe mode only if you log on to the computer by using the local administrator account. You can upgrade to the retail, released version of Windows Server 2003 while you are in safe mode. The option to upgrade in safe mode may not be available if your computer is running as a domain controller.

Any other Ideas KARL LMFAO
