win-nix hw clock conflict

Thread Starter 
windows and linux are both changing the hardware clock. However, one of the progs is not doing it correctly, and causes the time to change to the wrong time. Once it changes it though, it holds at that incorrect time until I fix it.

I think it would be good to turn off the sync in one OS, preferrably windows. Anyone have experience/advice?

thanks

Both of the OSes have to reference the hardware clock when they start up to sync the system clock, and set the hardware clock again as they shut down - you can't really get around that too easily. However, both should be setting the hardware clock without problems... you might want to check whether your linux is using UTC time. Windows only supports local time, so if you intend to have a linux install coexist with it, you have to use local time in linux, too.
