File Time Stamp Off By One Hour
In the FAT file system, when a file's timestamp is written it uses your local time. So if it's 8:32AM and you write your file, then it's "8:32 AM" that gets written to the disk.
In the NTFS, all timestamps are written in Coordinated Universal Time or UTC (roughly equivalent to Greenwich Mean Time, GMT). That means if it's 8:32AM, and you're in the U.S.'s Eastern time zone (ET) which is UTC -5, then the actual time written to the disk is 13:32 UTC. When the file's time is displayed, then of course, the time zone is once again factored in and the time of 8:32AM is shown.
