I have a Mac Mini Core Single with a 10 Gig BootCamp XP partition. My startup partition is OS X. When I boot into XP, my system clock in Windoze is 5 hours ahead. I set it back and its fine for the rest of the session. The clock is correct booting back into OS X. Returning to XP, the clock is off again. I've tried both manual and automatic internet clock setting in both environments and all combinations. Anyone else seen this on any Mactel platform in XP?

Have there been other threads? I thought that I was the one and only.

Silly question, but did you check your timezone settings?

Hardly silly. Yes, every time. It's stayed on Chicago, CDT (or what passes in each OS). There must be a softswitch somewhere unless EdipisReks is right but I've never seen a thread on it or can find a reference at any (a couple) sites.

Both OS X and all Linux distributions (that I know of) default to keeping the machine's clock on GMT/Zulu time, while Windows expects to keep the clock on LOCAL time. This is the issue entirely. I'd get used to GMT while running Windows... It doesn't hurt anything.

Yeah, my clock is off by 5 hours each XP boot as well. What's odd is that the clock should "sync" with my domain when I login each time...but it doesn't. Oh well, no big deal to me.

It is referenced in the Boot Camp readme. There is another thread about it.
I just put the Date & Time control panels for each OS in the startup applications, to make it easier to trigger an update.

You'd think someone could come up with a program to correct this automatically.

Turn on automatic time synchronization in the Date and Time control panel. If that doesn't update frequently enough, download another ntp client and add it to your startup items.

So far, neither of those suggestions have worked.

Anyway, this is a beta so I suppose that the boys that brought you the "Revolution in the Valley", or, no doubt, their successors, will have another something to upgrade for the next driver CD release. Time can be a serious issue at some sites. It'll have to be fixed by the next major upgrade of the OS.

hmmmm. You could use a browser window, open to time.gov. Then you could make the window really small so that all you can see is the time. that is a real band-aid, but it might serve you fine.

I still haven't found a dependable solution for this. Oh well.

Heh. I guess most here live in the same time zone. Me too: 5 hours off.
