Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to realize a data recording disk that is resistant against burst errors and capable of quick access without sacrificing recording capacity. A disk 1 is divided into zones, and the number of sectors per track is made larger by one in a more outside zone than in a more inside zone. The disk 1 is driven at a constant rotational angular velocity. The sector is composed of an address area and a data area, and it is arranged for the address recorded in the address area to complete error detection and correction processing within the address area. An error detection and correction code in the data area is completed extending over a plurality of sectors.
Claims4
A data recording disk in which a track for recording data is divided into a plurality of sectors, and said sector is composed of a first area for recording addresses and a second area for recording data, wherein:
- a first code for error detection of said address is completed in said first area;
- a second code for error correction of said data is completed extending over said plurality of sectors of said track;
- recording is made at a constant linear velocity when first data are recorded;
- recording is made at a constant rotational Angular velocity when second data are recorded;
- and
- formats of said sectors are made the same when recording is made at a constant linear velocity and when recording is made at a constant rotational angular velocity.
A data recording method for recording data in a data recording disk in which a track for recording data is divided into a plurality of sectors and said sector is composed of a first area for recording addresses and a second area for recording data, comprising the steps of:
- recording a first code for error detection of said address in said first area;
- recording a second code for error correction of said data extending over said plurality of sectors of said track;
- recording at a constant linear velocity when first data are recorded in said data recording disk;
- recording at a constant rotational angular velocity when second data are recorded in said data recording disk;
- and
- making the formats of said sector the same when recording is made at a constant linear velocity and when recording is made at a constant rotational angular velocity.
