Title: Problem with Dual Boot
I have encountered a rather curious problem dual-booting between WinXP and OSX on a Macbook Pro (using Boot Camp).
After booting into and using WinXP and then re-booting into OSX, the OSX clock will be exactly, to the minute, 5 hours late. (i.e. Five hours behind the current time (e.g. if current time is 1215, clock now reads 0715.). When opening the System Preference the “lock” which would normally prevent changes has been “unlocked” (though previously, absolutely “locked”)
Re-booting back to XP then again to OSX does not cumulatively change the time. (i.e. Decrement by 10, 15, etc.). Once backed off by five hours it stays there on subsequent re-boots; providing no change was made to update the clock in OSX. If I do update the clock in OS X to current time and go XP and back, it does, again, reset to five hours later than current time: never any more than that.
The minutes (and presumably the seconds – but who can tell) do not change; the date does not change. (Though I have not tried this at 0001 to actually see what would happen there — not going to either.)
Both OSes are set to correct time zones at EST. Now, I know that EST is GMT –5 but if that were a factor it could, should make the clock five hours ahead (e.g. if current time is 1215 and it reverted to GMT then clock should, instead, read 1715; but it doesn’t).
Any thoughts? Something I can look for to trouble-shoot? Am I missing something simple?
