[SOLVED]Time Off by 5 Hours After Win7 Boot

So I booted in to Windows 7 and it now shows my time as being 5 hours behind. How would I change it back, and prevent it from doing that again?

You should edit /etc/rc.conf and change the value of HARDWARECLOCK

It's a possibility but I also have Mac on this machine that I use WAY more often, and I think that would mess it up again. How do I reset it so that its back on UTC?

Reset what? System clock, hardware clock, both? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Time

That fixed it, guess I'll just try to avoid booting Win7 in the future

You can google for how to set the Windows clock to be UTC, that's the best way IMO. My Vista install is set to that, its just a registry key somewhere.

Have you tried setting all your clocks to localtime? Windows likes it, Arch doesn't mind, I have no idea what OS X prefers - maybe you should ask some other people who are triple-booting.

I know Mac uses UTC, and I don't think you can change it. Thanks for the suggestion
