I have a number of hard disks that utilize cassettes: i.e., they each are mounted in a cassette and I insert them and remove them depending upon which OS I want to run. I have Kubuntu 6.06, Ubuntu 7.04, Windows XP, etc.
I have the time settings all the same on all the Linux disks: same time zone, same time display, etc. I am using EST on all, for example, not UTC. Most of the time when I switch between drives and remount the original, the system time displayed is off by 4 hours, the exact difference between EST and UTC, in the summer. For instance, when I mounted Kubuntu 7.04, the time registered correctly on my desktop. When I removed that drive and inserted my Kubuntu 6.06 drive, the system time had increased by 4 hours. I had to bring up the "Adjust Date and Time", un-select the "Set time automatically", re-select the "Set time automatically", and click on "Apply". There's got to be an easier way.
But I'm more interested in finding out why the different disks display different times rather than a shorter way to reset the time.
Any ideas? I've tried everything that I know to do.
Thanks.
