System Time Issue on Dual Boot Win7 and BT5R2

I've been running a dual boot setup of Window 7 and BT5R2 and noticed the system time on each kept changing. I'd boot into Windows from BT5R2 and the system time would be way off. Did a little research and found the fix.

Open the /etc/default/rcS file:

nano /etc/default/rcS (file name is case-sensitive as usual under Linux)

Make sure the line containing UTC is set to no:

UTC=no

Save the file and exit.

Now make sure to set the correct time zone/clock settings for you location and when you reboot each operating system should reflect the correct time.

Time zone can be changed with the following command:

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

You'll need to use sudo -i or just sudo in order to execute the command.
