Abstract
A method of writing to a disc in a disc drive includes receiving data to be written to a designated area of the disc wherein the designated area has a beginning, an end, and contains a defective portion. The data is written to the disc starting from the beginning of the designated area and proceeding toward the end of the designated area. The data is written to a temporary buffer, external to the disc, upon reaching the defective portion of the designated area. Writing is then resumed, writing data to the designated area of the disc, upon passing the defective portion of the designated area.
