Memory management apparatus and memory management method

A method implemented on a terminal apparatus that includes a non-volatile memory for which writing is performed in units of blocks, the method comprising:

• performing a first method of managing bad blocks in the non-volatile memory with respect to blocks corresponding to an information management table in a file system constituting a partition table of the non-volatile memory;
• and
• performing a second method of managing bad blocks in the non-volatile memory with respect to blocks corresponding to user data in the file system.

A computer readable storage medium encoded with computer executable instructions, which when executed by a terminal apparatus that includes a non-volatile memory for which writing is performed in units of blocks, causes the terminal apparatus to perform a method comprising:

• performing a first method of managing bad blocks in the non-volatile memory with respect to blocks corresponding to an information management table in a file system constituting a partition table of the non-volatile memory;
• and
• performing a second method of managing bad blocks in the non-volatile memory with respect to blocks corresponding to user data in the file system.
