Why is the time different between Mac OS X and Windows XP on my computer?
This issue is addressed in Boot Camp Beta 1.1.
With earlier versions of Boot Camp Beta, the Windows XP and Mac OS X
operating systems handle your computer's date and time information
differently, so the date and time may be different when you switch
operating systems. For best results, use a network time server and resync
the date and time whenever you switch operating systems. In Mac OS X, use
the "Set date & time automatically" option in the Date & Time preferences.
In Windows XP, click the Update Now button in the "Date and Time
Properties" control pane
or, for a better explanation:

11/21/06 11:32 AM [Fed-Talk] 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?
