Sat M70: How to recover function of Express-Media-Player?

I have M70 but I formatted it once I bought it. Now, could you tell me how to recover function of Express-Media-Player? there is not setup.exe file in the Express-Media-Player recovery CD/
Thanks

Hello Weimin
In order to use the Express Media functions the Express Mediaplayer Recovery CD must be run before performing the Product Recovery from the Recovery DVD-ROM.
You cannot run Express Media player after performing a recovery.
On the HDD should at least 150 - 200MB free space be available.
This free space should be on the end of the HDD and it must be unallocated.
To start the installation you have to boot from the Express Mediaplayer Recovery CD
Bye

Strange Problem with Toshiba Express Media Player on Satellite M115-S3094

I'm experiencing a strange problem in my Toshiba M115-S3094, which was pre-installed with Windows XP Media Center edition and which also had the Toshiba Express Media Player.
I had previously done a clean Vista installation on it, and then I decided to revert back to XP with my recovery DVD. I did the same procedures of first installing Express Media Player from Backup (which I made when i purchased the laptop) and then installing XP from Windows XP recovery DVD from Toshiba.
The steps included:
1- Deleted partitions from Express media player recovery disk
2- Installed express media player
3- Recovered Xp from Recovery DVD, by selecting "Recover without changing Partitions" (there is no expert mode)
Everything went very well (i.e. the installation)......But now after shutting down my laptop as I press the Express Media Center button, the "Express Media Player" logo appears on the screen after loading for 5 seconds laptop shutdowns,
I tried to open it again and again but the logo appears for 5 seconds and then my laptop shutdown....
Laptop works fine when I logon to windows by pressing power button.
Can anyone help on this strange issue..?

Hi Jaba
Thnx for reply.
Now i would answer the questions asked by you and try to clear you confusion,
Yes, Express Media Player was previously installed on my machine, and I have used it, it was perfectly working.
About installation of Media Player, The whole story is that, firstly i wasnt known about how to make a Toshiba express media player recovery cd through windows, so downloaded an ISO of the media player from a forum and install media player by first deleting partitions.
After that I can again installed xp through recovery dvd and choose the option "out of box" state and then selected "install without changing partitions"
After a successfull recovery, I shutdown my pc and pressed the media player button, the media player logo appeared for 5 seconds and then my laptop shutsdown, this is happening all the time when i start my laptop by the Express media player button.
After this I read somewhere how to create a backup recovery cd for Express media player, So i run the recovery disk creater and made a backup of Toshiba Express media player.
After doing the above procedure I again formated my hard drive through recovery dvd and selecting the option "Delete partitions and overwrite sectors". When this was finished, i booted my laptop with the newly made recovery cd for express player, after selecting English as my language, This it what said:
"Installation Error" An error occured due to wrong system ID or unsufficient space on hard drive, press escape to quit.
THE ABOVE IS THE WHOLE PROCESS IN COMPLETE DETAIL.
AND JAMA,
About the link you provided, it says that on the Recovery dvd select the option for "Expert Mode", but in my recovery dvd (for Toshiba M115- S3094) there is no such option as expert mode, there are only two options
1- Restore laptop to "out of box" state
2- Format Hard Drive

Satellite Pro M70-273: Functionality of the Express Media Player feature

I bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70-273 "Limited Edition" (?) two weeks ago. The model number is PSM76E-00J00QDU, model name SPM76, production date 2006-02-21. According to the specifications I found in the online user's manual or in a folder with publication references
"TEG October 2005, Art. N0. DSSSPM70 10/05NLBE", there is an "Express Media Feature" "on some selected models" ...
It is not clear if yes or no, the model I bought has it. I have a "CD/DVD Button" that I use to launch my built-in dvd player (e.g. WinDVD), but this does not work as specified as "a standalone disc drive" that plays a dvd (film) without needing to startup Windows.
To watch the dvd film, after using the CD/DVD button, I have to boot into Windows, login into Windows XP and when the desktop is started, the WinDVD screen will show the film.
This is not what I'm expecting from a standalone dvd player. My old notebook has a "dj function" with which one can play a cd without booting into Windows, (or powering up the notebook), just by pressing a special key on the front . How about the promised feature of the Toshiba Satellite Pro?
Is there an "Express Media Player" functionality at all? How can I check if the feature is provided? I used the setup provided, the first time I used my notebook. I don't wish to use the recovery cd rom provided unless it might be absolutely indispensable to install this missing feature.

With the laptop you should have received a restore/recovery disc. This contains utilities to either replace individual drivers and tools, plus a complete 'image' of the base build that your laptop has when it is built at the factory
Although I have never used this, it is supposed to completely wipe all data and setings from ythe laptop by first formatting the hard drive then reinstalling the operating system and applications back to factory settings. From comments elsewhere on this forum one of the few options you can have when you do this is to choose to partition the hard drive into 2 sections, one for the Express Media player, the other for the operating system etc. (as the Express Media operates without booting into the operating system).
The process is designed to be user friendly as it guides you through it, but as I said it does wipe EVERYTHING you have on the laptop currently, which is why I never bothered after I realised it wasn't installed. By the sounds of it though it won't be too much hassle for you to do that as you have data/settings you can easily transfer afterwards (Win XP has a tool to help with this)
The Gigastore hub I have found very good, and likewise the Gigastore hard drive, although others have posted here about their laptops not 'seeing' the hard drive in certain conditions

Express Media Player (EMP) recovery disc - Satelite P105-S6024

I have some problem with my express media player software on my new machine Satelite P105-6024.
As I have bought it everything work properly. But then, I have made partitions on my HDD and have instaled whole the software from recovery discs. And everything looks like earlier and work properly but Express Media Center. It seems it is not installed. I have found the special Express Media Player Recovery Disc but I am not sure how to use it. (I am complite novice). As I have known EMP is a linux-like software and it is not visible in Windows. And as I know there was a special small partition dedicated for this application. This partition has been deleted. And I am not sure it is possible to install EMP once again on my laptop. How should I use the EMP recovery disc? If I simply run it in windows enviroment I can just see some files - but running them nothing is happen. I would appreciate short manual.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
I have found this on the web:
Step-by-Step Installation Guide for Express Media Player and Windows XP Recovery on two partitions in Expert mode:
1) ALL DATA ON HDD WILL BE IRREVERSABLY DESTROYED (this is serious!)
2) Install Express Media Player:
Boot from the Express Media Player Recovery CD
-->use [Delete All Partitions] (may be on left side of menu for older Player versions).
THIS WILL ERASE THE COMPLETE HDD!!!!!!!!
3) Boot with the Windows XP Recovery CD, go to expert mode, and exit the "TOSHIBA Recovery Tool" (OEM Ghost version) using menuitem "Quit"
4) you may use fdisk.exe or gdisk.exe - I will show the gdisk syntax here
(its easier to describe and there are a lot of descriptions for FDISK on the net)
5) Now we create two partitions (size 50%:50%-playersize).
--> At DOS prompt type:
gdisk 1 /cre /pri /sz:50% -> creates a primary 1st partition
gdisk 1 /cre /ext -> creates a extended 2nd partition
gdisk 1 /cre /log -> creates a 2nd partition logical
gdisk 1 /act /p:1 -> set partionion 1 to active
6) now reboot with the Windows XP Recovery CD , go to expert mode
7) Use menu: Local\Partition\From Image, choose GHO image in menu
8) There should only be ONE source partition available:
1 Primary 07 NTFS DiskLoad ...-> Choose this one!
9) Select destination HDD (there should be also only one)
1 <size> Basic ... -> Choose this one!
10) Now you have to choose the destination partition - there should be three to choose!
11) Choose:
1 Primary 0c Fat32 No name ...--> !!!!!!!! BE SURE TO CHOOSE THIS ONE !!!!!!!!
12) Confirm that you want to write on that partition
13) "TOSHIBA Recovery Tool" is unpacking and installion the Operating System
14) afterwards the Windows XP and the Media Express Player are install
Hope this will help you. Good luck!
Bye

Toshiba Express Media Player recovery

I replaced my 100GB HDD (Toshiba manufactured, which included Toshiba Express Media Player by factory default) with 320 GB HDD (Toshiba). I want to install Toshiba EMP.
When I boot from EMP recovery disc received this message:
Recovery is not supported on this system. Press any keys to exit. (my OS Windows 7 x64 Ultimate)
Also I receive this message on old HDD. Also OS Windows 7 x64 Ultimate & Windows XP Professional x86.
When I install different operating systems (Red Hat, Debian) on my old HDD Toshiba EMP working & not removed although I deleted partitions & etc.
I updated my BIOS version from 3.00 to 5.60 for install Windows 7 few years ago.
Maybe BIOS hinder?

Ok. Long time ago I had Satellite M70 with the same option to install Toshiba Express Media Player.
It was delivered with two recovery discs.
By the way on Toshiba support page in knowledge base I found only one document related to this player - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ5C018T000FR01.htm
But I think it will not help you much.
As I already wrote this package was designed for WXP at this time and I never tested it with Win7.
It is nice that you want to use and mix old and new stuff but if this will not work there is nothing to do about that.
As far as I know the whole thing has nothing to do with BIOS and you should be happy that Win7 works perfectly on this old piece of hardware.
Anyway, lets see if anyone else has better experiences with all this.

Recovery Disk Creator (Express Media Player)

Hello,
This is my first visit to these forums. I bought my Toshiba Satellite A105-S4284 laptop back in November 2006 from CompUSA. Recently, I had to take my laptop to a local repair shop because I updated McAfee and the desktop froze- this is just some previous info, this problem is fixed. They just backed up my data, then reinstalled the operating system.
I'm trying to create a recovery disk using the pre-install software that came with the laptop. It is called "Recovery Disk Creator (Express Media Player)". I used this in the past many times before I had the problem explained above, but this is the first time I am using it since I pick my laptop up from the repair shop. I get the following error message when I double click on the shortcut icon on the desktop: "Recovery Disc Creator- No compatible Recordable or Rewritable devices could be found on your system." Also, when I use Nero 9 Nero Express I just get failed attempts and the DVD/CD ejects. Both of these worked fine before.
My specs:
Toshiba Satellite A105-S4284
Intel Centrino Duo T 2050 1.6 GHz, 1 GB RAM
Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 (both worked before with SP2)
Thank you

If you have used this in the past to create the disks just use one of the previous disks to restore the system. The disk you made previously would be exactly the same as you would create now.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

How do i get my Windows Media Player Songs to my itunes????

Hi, I cant figure out how to transfer my w. Media player songs to my itunes?? I am still new at this can someone help me out? It asked me once along time ago but i didnt have any of my music on there then!!! Thank you so much for any help. I appreciate it! Emmers.

Kudos!
Anyway, I have 56 songs transfered from Windows Media Player to iTunes. I've done this over the course of one and half years at about every two or three month intervals. Every time I discovered new songs something changed in my Mom's PC and I would have to import into iTunes differently; for example, I would convert the songs and then just drag and drop into iTunes or save the playlist as a format that could be converted in iTunes. Right now I have about twenty songs in WMP waiting for iTunes. When I do drag and drop songs from WMP to iTunes they appear in iTunes but they won't sync to my Nano. They won't convert to AAC file either. Now, these are songs from the internet and that is exactly how iTunes reads them; files from a website. Is there anyway to get my songs into iTunes? I tried everything Dave Sawyer and Chris CA said but nothing seems to be working!

Libretto U100: Screen to small playing movie with Express Media Player

Hello.
I have a Toshiba Libretto U100 with DVD Dock, and when I use Express Media Player to play DVDs, the image on the screen is too small. I have look for the way to make it play in full screen mode, but I haven't been successful.
Now the questions.
It's there a way to change to full screen mode? If so, please detail.
If it isn't possible with the included version, it's there a new version or upgrade available with this feature? where can I get (if it is free) or buy (if it is not) it?
Thanks in advance and best regards. Your help would be very appreciated.

Oh yes, you can if you get close enaugh !! . I only use it for travels.
Thank you very much for that fast and usefull answer. I have checked the "full screen" check box, have turn off the computer to start in "Express media player mode", and it works full screen.
And about screen borders, they are bigger in surface than that of the picture. Absurd, isn't it?
Nice to have received the answer from other spanish. I'm spanish too.
Muchas gracias, Juan28.

How to communicate servlets with windows media player

I am new to web programming I am developing an application through which a client can play media file.
I am getting problem in,how to communicate servlet through windows media player.
I have developed the basic architecture of my application using tiger server,now I want to open media file through windows media player using openURL option(http request).
Can any body guide me how to build a servlet which can listen this request and how to respond appropriately
Please Reply.

Check out the java doc for HttpServletResponse
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse.html
Your sevlet will have to set the response contentType to the appropriate mime type
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/mime.asp
and contentLength to the file size (in bytes), then open the mp3/wma file and write the bytes to the servlet output stream.
You could also choose to return an asx file (an xml document containing a url of the media file), and windows media player will automatically lookup the mp3/wma file stored on your web server.

Qcurly,
Probably your menu bar is hidden. To reveal it, click the triangle by the half-shaded box at upper left and click on Show Menu Bar (as piictured). This will reveal the menu bar with File, Edit, View, etc.

Satellite A105-S2101 - Can't watch DVDs with Express Media Player

I got this Satellite A105-S2101 notebook computer, and the LCD blew out on me within 2 years.
Luckily, I can still make use of the VGA, and S-Video outputs, but it may as well be a desktop PC now. Anyway, I just wanted to add that because of this problem, I no longer am able to watch DVDs with Express Media Player because it wont accept VGA or S-Video as defaults just my busted-up, good-for-nothing, always blurry anyway LCD.
It's only when I am in Windows mode that I can toggle to an external monitor.
The reason I write is, if there ever was a need to add anything for an update to EMP--now's the time and that would be something to add to it. What the heck?

Hi
I think the Express Media Player does not run in Windows mode
I mean it's not neccessary to run the Windows OSin order to run Express Media Player and therefore the video output does not work in connection with EMP.
I think you will have to use an Windows based software player VLC player is very nice. I use it too its small, free tool and you can play almost all files audio and video.
