An optical disk drive that performs logical overwrite and that enables reconstitution of arbitrary data acquired before logical overwrite. When data are written over a recorded area, the data are alternately recorded in an unrecorded user data area, thereby performing logical overwrite processing. Every time logical overwrite is performed, a system controller cumulatively prepares a correlation list consisting of an old physical address achieved before logical overwrite, an alternately-recorded new physical address, and a data length acquired before logical overwrite and records the thus-prepared list into an optical disk. When logical overwrite is performed a number of times, arbitrary data achieved before logical overwrite are reproduced by sequential reference to the old physical address of the correlation table.
