Reinstalling the Spire CXP8000 Color

Server Software

Overview

This chapter describes when and how to back up and restore the entire operating

system and application software (including the current job list database) on your

computer, as well as when and how to reinstall the software configuration on your

Spire CXP8000 color server.

Backing up the application software on a regular basis (weekly) is always

recommended so that a working copy can be used for recovery, if necessary.

Performing the restore procedure requires a previous backup. To ensure a

successful recovery:

•Save a copy of the backup, either on the network or on an external device to

prevent loss of data in case your system disk becomes corrupted.

•Perform the backup and recovery procedure at any time that you want to back

up and restore the Creo system partition and the job list database.

•Windows XP activation is not required.

To reinstall the software configuration:

•Perform either a complete overwrite of the entire system or only a system

partition.

•When you reinstall the software configuration using either of the two methods,

your current job list database will be deleted.

•Both of these methods require:

Reinstalling the operating system (Windows XP)

Reinstalling the Creo application software

Using the Configuration Wizard to configure the system

Activating Windows XP

Backing up the Creo system partition at the end of the reinstallation process

2 Spire CXP8000 Color Server 1.0 Software Installation Guide

The following scenarios will assist you in determining when to use the backup and

restore procedures and when to use the reinstallation procedures.

Preloaded Software

The Spire CXP8000 color server is delivered to the customer site preloaded with the

following software and configuration:

•Windows XP Professional

•MS Service Pack 1a

•Internet Explorer 6.0

•Spire CXP8000 Color Server for Xerox DocuColor 8000 Digital Color Press

•Adobe Acrobat 6.0

•Network Parameters (hostname, IP address, network services and protocols)

•System backup

Procedure Use Windows XP

Activation

Backup and

restore

Always recommended except for when the

system must be reinstalled, see

Reinstallation in the following row.

Not required

Reinstallation System Partition Overwrite

•Windows operating system is corrupt

•Unrecoverable system crash

Complete Overwrite

•System disk replacement

•Upgrading the system disk

Required

Notes:

There are two reinstallation methods:

System Partition Overwrite, which overwrites partition C, should be performed when the

Windows XP Professional operating system is corrupt and needs to be reinstalled.

Complete Overwrite, which overwrites partitions C and D, should be performed only when

installing a new operating system, when the system exhibits unpredictable behavior (for

example, error messages suddenly appearing or occasional GUI freezes), when physically

replacing the system disk or when upgrading the system disk.

Partition C contains the operating system files. Partition D contains the Creo application files

(job list database/user files).

Backing Up and Restoring the Software

We recommend that you restore the software on your Spire color server after an

unrecoverable system crash or when you want to replace the system hard disk.

When you back up the Creo system partition (partition C), all the operating system

files are copied to partition D (see Backing Up the Creo System Partition).

The backup and restore procedures do not require Windows XP activation, and are

not related to the system reinstallation. The procedures can be performed at any

time that you want to backup and restore your Creo system partition, and backup

and restore your job list database.

To back up and restore the software, you first need to back up the Creo system

partition. To restore the software, you need to perform the following tasks:

1. Back up the job list database.

2. Restore the Creo system partition.

3. Restore the job list database.

The procedures for backing up and restoring the software are described in detail in

the following sections.

Backing Up the Creo System Partition

You can back up the Creo system partition at any time.

When you backup your Creo system partition, Norton Ghost copies the files on

partition C to an image file on partition D.

1. Tur n on yo ur computer.

2. Place CD #1A (Windows XP Fast Install) in the DVD-ROM drive.

3. Restart the computer.

Attention: Before performing the backup and restore procedures, make sure

that your computer’s configuration is the one that you want to use when

restoring the system.

Not

Notes:

•To enable the restoration of customer settings and job data, we

recommend that you back up the Spire CXP8000 color server

configuration and other information before loading the operating

system, see Backing Up the Creo System Partition and Backing Up the

Job List Database on page 5.

•Once you have backed up all the required information to your local

disk, move this information to an external device or to a network

(you cannot back up directly to an external device or network).

Note: If you are already logged on your system and the Spire CXP8000 color

server workspace is open, exit the workspace, insert CD #1A, and proceed to

step 4.
