In a recording apparatus equipped with a drive apparatus for recording data on a recording medium such as an optical disk, and a function capable of initializing a management information area of the recording medium, a storage unit is further provided. The storage unit stores thereinto initializing data which is used to be recorded on the management information area of the recording medium when the recording medium is initialized. In the case that an initializing operation is instructed, the recording apparatus records the initializing data which has been stored in the storage unit on the management information area of the recording medium from a beginning area thereof. Thus, a user no longer waits to use the recording medium until the initializing operation is accomplished when such a recording medium as a new optical disk is used, resulting in an improvement of user operability.
