An object of the present invention is to reduce the time a host computer requires to recognize a recordable disc such as CD-R/CD-RW. The method includes the steps of determining whether or not an optical disc loaded in the optical disc recording/reproduction apparatus is an optical disc onto which data is likely to be written (S 46 ), and if the preceding step S 46 determines the loaded disc as an optical disc onto which data is likely to be written, acquisition of disc information required for recording on the optical disc is performed by the host computer inter-relatedly with a spinup in the same step (S 47 ). Thus, the optical disc recording/reproducing apparatus returns the disc information to the host computer in step (S 4 E) without performing the step (S 4 D) for acquiring the disc information after the completion of the spinup (S 4 A) for the optical disc onto which data is likely to be written. Thus, the time required for recognizing a recordable disc can be reduced when the disc is loaded. |
