I have Linux Mint 16 Mate installed on a separate HDD. When booting up (using the F12 method to select HDD) into Linux I see the correct time. When I'm done in Linux and go back into windows my time is off by 5 hours, ahead by 5 hours. It's off in the BIOS as well in the OS. Go into the BIOS change it or change it in the OS, then go back into Linux and then go back into windows, the process repeats itself. It's just a big pain having to correct my time when I go from Linux to Windows every time.

OK....I have it fixed. I now have the correct time on both OS's. Thanks to Trouble/Fixer1234 pointing me into the right directions, on and off the forum. Those suggestions lead me to the Linux Mint forum and after posting my question I had 2 answers that were spot on. This is how to correct the issue.
To edit your /etc/default/rcS file as root press Alt+F2 and type the command: gksudo pluma /etc/default/rcS
Then change UTC=yes to UTC=no, save and exit.

Good to hear. Glad you have it sorted.
Actually very nice to have an OP, who is willing to actually try some experimenting with different suggestions offered and pursue any number of different approaches to a possible resolution.
And actually post back and tell everyone how he arrived at his solution.
