I'm away from the house so I can't lay my hands on my Mandrake linux
doc. However, I recall that they had special instructions in the
install procedure re the clock depending on whether you were
configured with a dual boot that included a windoze partition. 
Windoze did something with the clock that linux by itself does not,
that fubared the setting for the linux side. Mandrake included
instructions when setting the clock to allow for that and my clock
now works fine on both partitions.

Sorry I can't be more help, but I suspect the doc on the mandrake
home site will discuss it some.
