Abstract

A personal computer capable of creating a table of contents (TOC) for a CD-ROM in response to receipt of lead-in Sub-channel Q data from a CD-ROM disc drive. The personal computer includes a computer readable memory storing a first and second set of instructions. The first set of instructions implement a read lead-in command to read lead-in Sub-channel Q data of the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM disc drive. The second set of instructions create a TOC and store the TOC in the computer readable memory in response to receipt of the lead-in Sub-channel Q data from the CD-ROM disc drive.
