PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To speed up software processing associated with a cluster chain. SOLUTION: The cluster number of the cluster following a head cluster is recorded in the cluster chain information field of a directory cluster chain item. Accordingly, when a directory item or the directory item of a directory of the file in a predetermined directory is recorded over a plurality of clusters (when a cluster chain is generated) and a desired file is retrieved from within the directory, a cluster number of the cluster following a head cluster is acquired by analyzing the information recorded in the cluster chain information field of the directory cluster chain item which indicates the directory. Consequently, the speedup of analyzing the cluster chain can be achieved, thereby achieving improvement in the retrieval processing of the desired file. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
