I have a dual boot of Vista and Mandriva 2008.1. During installation, I chose that my system clock uses the local time and not UTC, but everytime I log into Mandriva, the clock is not right.
How can I fix this without using NTP servers?

What worked for Me was to install Mandriva using system clock uses UTC option then change the timezone to local. That was one of the reasons my initial experience with Mandriva 2008.1 wasn't as satisfactory as I had hoped leading me to eventually remove it from my multi boot system in favor of fedora.

But how can I fix an already present installation?

maybe if you toggle it to UTC and then back again, it'll help? you can do this via drakclock.

I got it solved by letting the settings be, (using localtime) and setting the time with;
date -s HH:MM
as root or with sudo naturally :)
