Reinstalling the Spire CXP8000 Color Server Software

Reinstalling the System
There are two methods by which you can reinstall the system:
•
Creo Software Complete Overwrite Installation
:
This procedure replaces the entire system disk, operating system partition,
Creo application, and user partition (partitions C and D).
A complete overwrite should be performed under the following condition:
when physically replacing the system hard disk
•
Creo Software Preservation Installation
(System Partition Overwrite): This
procedure replaces only the operating system partition (C). You should
perform System Partition Overwrite under the following conditions:
when the Windows XP Professional operating system is corrupt and needs
to be reinstalled
when you are upgrading the operating system
after an unrecoverable system crash
However, it may become necessary to reinstall the system at the customer’s site, for
example, after an unrecoverable system crash.
The reinstallation is mostly unattended. User interaction is needed only to insert
CD #1B into the DVD-ROM drive, and for entering the OS license number and the
computer hostname, for restarting the computer when requested, for inserting the
final application CD, and for the Configuration Wizard.
The reinstallation of the system requires three CDs:
Two CDs #1:
•
CD #1A and #1B (Windows XP Professional Fast Install)
One CD #2:
•
CD #2 (Spire CXP8000 color server version 1.0 for the DocuColor 8000
Application Software)
Note:
This option deletes all the files stored on disks C and D. Make sure to
back up any important customer files before selecting this option.
Back up the files to the local disk, and then back up the files to an
external device or to a network (you cannot back up directly to an
external device or network).
Determine whether VIPP or any other Xerox/Creo supported
application is loaded on the Spire CXP8000 color server. Such
applications have to be reloaded after the Complete Overwrite
installation is completed.
Note:
After reinstalling the Creo system partition (partition C), you can
restore files that were backed up on partition D, such as the system
configuration and activation string.
