I am having two problems with my dual boot (FC3 and Windows XP) Toshiba notebook which seems to me are related to the bios. 1. A HP 1100 printer is connected to the parallel port of the notebook. It works fine but when I boot the machine in FC3 it does not see the printer and the hardware configuration wizard asks for keeping/withdrawing/doing nothing with the configuration. The work around I am using is to restore the bios setting before booting the machine. I need to do it "every" time I boot the machine in FC3. Win XP, however, sees the printer fine. How can I stop FC3 to change the bios settings? 2. I am using the network to synchronize the system clock in FC3. When I am using FC3 only there is no problem. But each time I boot the machine in XP, the system clock is changed. Again I found that the bios clock has been changed by FC3. How can I fix this? I could not find any solution by Googling but if you know about any related discussion please point me there. Thanks in advance. Arko.
