Hi, I have installed arch over my xp installation. Everytime I login to one of them, my time always changes both on arch and xp. If I would change my time on xp, the time on my arch upon booting it changes also to a wrong time either late or advance...:( Is there any way to stop this?
Thanks in advance

I think it has something to do with the way time is set in /etc/rc.conf
Not sure if it needs to be set to localtime or UTC

Windows stores time in the hardware as localtime. You've probably got rc.conf to store it as UTC. Change rc.conf to store it as localtime and you should be right

Might I suggest you also have a look at the ntp wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NTP.
Nothing like having accurate system time once you have your time setup properly

You were right, it was set to HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"...Changing it to localtime did the trick!!!:D Thank you so much..:)
Thanks for all the replies
