When you reboot the lappy. Hit F8, it should be for yours, so it goes into the bios. Change the time in there. Then it won't be wrong as it doesn't go by time zones, it goes by what you put in there...

thats not entirely true mate, but your on the right track. the OS will confer with the BIOS regarding date and time, but inevitably it will look for an actual time server. there should be no reason why lucas's BIOS time would be different, when we helped him through the fresh install of his OS the BIOS battery wasnt removed, infact most computer bios batteries are soldered in as they should never be removed.
