MEDIUM RECORDING AND REPRODUCING DEVICE, AND MEDIUM RECORDING AND REPRODUCING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent stop of recording due to a retry-over in a replacement process and/or unnecessary conversion processing in a recording and reproducing device when a replacement area management method with NAP for replacement areas of a recordable medium is applied to a replacement area management method for replacement areas of a rewritable medium.

SOLUTION: NAP in initialization and replacement of a medium is updated so as not to show defective blocks which are registered with Unusable Cluster and Usable Cluster Type2 within a DFL entry in a replacement area.
