INFORMATION STORAGE MEDIUM ON WHICH UNDATED DRIVE DATA IS RECORDED, AND METHOD OF RECORDING INFORMATION ON THE INFORMATION STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

An information storage medium includes a drive zone having a plurality ofphysical clusters or ECC blocks. When new drive data is recorded in the drivezone, the new drive data is recorded in a physical cluster or ECC block nextto the physical cluster or ECC block containing the most recently recordeddrive data. In the method of recording drive data, the drive data is recordedin a physical cluster or ECC block of the drive zone. When the drive zone isupdated with the new drive data, the new drive data is recorded in thephysical cluster or ECC block adjacent to physical cluster or ECC blockcontaining the most recently drive data. The drive data recording method isapplicable to a new format of information storage medium.
