Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for mounting a storage disc. The method includes receiving data stored at a location on the storage disc. The location on the storage disc used for providing a structure of the storage disc as a result of a previous recording on the storage disc. Then, the method includes determining a medium type based on a parameter in the structure that is indicative of the medium type.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- decoding information on a storage disc during an initial recording operation on the storage disc, the information encoded during disc manufacturing of the storage disc:
- receiving data stored at a location on a storage disc during a mounting process without repeating the previous decoding of the information, the location on the storage disc defining a structure of the storage disc, the structure defined as a result of the previous decoding of the information on the storage disc;
- and
- determining a medium type based on a parameter in the structure that is indicative of the medium type.
1 more element
A disc drive, comprising:
- a read and write unit configured to perform read and write operation on a storage disc and to decode information on the storage disc during an initial recording operation on the storage disc, the information encoded during disc manufacturing of the storage disc:
- and
- a drive controller configured to control the read and write unit to read data stored at a location on the storage disc during a mounting process without repeating the previous decoding of the information, the location on the storage disc defining a structure of the storage disc as a result of the previous decoding of the information on the storage disc, and to determine a medium type based on a parameter in the structure that is indicative of the medium type.
A circuit, comprising:
- a read and write unit configured to perform read and write operation on a storage disc and to decode information on the storage disc during an initial recording operation on the storage disc, the information encoded during disc manufacturing of the storage disc;
- and
- a drive controller configured to control the read and write unit to read data stored at a location on the storage disc during a mounting process without repeating the previous decoding of the information, the location on the storage disc defining a structure of the storage disc as a result of the previous decoding of the information on the storage disc, and to determine a medium type based on a parameter in the structure that is indicative of the medium type.
