A method for determining the difference between the sub-Q code and header of a CD-ROM loaded in a CD-ROM drive is provided. The method includes the providing a read-out command to a controller in the CD-ROM drive, searching for a sub-Q code area of a first frame and reading the sub-Q code of the sub-Q code area according to the read-out command and storing the same, by means of the controller, enabling a decoder in the CD-ROM drive and reading header information which is the primary output from the decoder, by means of the controller, calculating the difference between the stored sub-Q code and the stored header information, by means of the controller, and processing the difference and transmitting the result, by means of the controller. Here, the result is processed in a computer and displayed on a monitor connected to the computer. Accordingly, it is possible to determine the influence of the recording structure of the CD-ROM on access time, thereby allowing steps to be taken to improve the quality and reliability of the CD-ROM.
