Dual Boot and Daylight Savings bug

[Don Taylor]

Two copies of XP installed, each in a different partition.

Go through the daylight savings time change.

Boot once with each version of XP.

XP daylight savings time change apparently doesn't check
the time zone against the UTC time, each version of XP
will adjust the time by an hour when booted.

I was downloading a very large file on a dial up, I was eight hours
into it with seconds to go to complete it. Daylight savings time
kicked in and set my clock ahead an hour. The program saw no activity
on the download for an hour so stop'd the transfer, and deleted my
file.

That I think was under Win95 or NT, I have since disabled the auto
set. :}}

I have always multi boot'd and set time with the dos TIME command, it
sets the bios so all systems at the same time.

Set the daylight savings auto adjustment in the OS you used the most.
Disable the other(s). XP and other versions of windows all do this if set
it this way. Its reflected in the cmos time/date setting, so any other
instance of windows will work with the preceding time adjustment upon boot..
