When To Reinstall

Chapter 3—Reinstalling the Color Controller C-80 Software
This chapter describes the installation procedures for the Color Controller C-80. It
describes how to reinstall the operating system, and how to reinstall the Color
Controller C-80 software.
If you are upgrading an existing site or reinstalling, it is essential to capture and save
all critical information before starting the installation procedure. This information
could be lost if it is not saved to an external device or network in the event of a
system crash.
The installation is mostly unattended. User interaction is needed only for entering
the computer hostname, for restarting the computer when requested, for activating
Windows XP operating system, and for inserting DVD 1 and DVD 2.
There are three methods for reinstalling the system:
•
Complete Installation,deleting old jobs: This procedure requires two discs,
DVD 1 and DVD 2. It installs a clean system with the Color Controller C-80
software and formats disk C and disk D. Complete Overwrite overwrites the
operating system.
Perform this installation under the following conditions:
When installing a new operating system

When physically replacing the system disk

When upgrading the system disk

•
Preservation Installation (System Partition Overwrite): This procedure requires
two discs, DVD 1 and DVD 2. It installs the Color Controller C-80 software and
formats only the system partition. In other words, disk C is reformatted and
reloaded, and the information on disk D is preserved and not deleted.
Perform this installation under the following conditions:
When the Windows XP operating system is corrupt and needs to be

reinstalled
After an unrecoverable system crash

When you are upgrading the operating system

•
System Backup/Restore Tool: This procedure only requires DVD 1. It is the
fastest method in which to reinstall the system drive. Use this procedure if you
have the latest software version and software updates installed, and you want to
keep an image file that can be restored later on.
Back up and restore only partition C —Norton Ghost software copies the files

on partition C to an image file on partition D, and restores partition C from the
image file on partition D.
Back up and restore partitions C and D—Norton Ghost software copies the

files on partitions C and D to a DVD, and restores partitions C and D from the
backup
