Abstract
A bad sector is detected by activating a bad sector detecting function of a recording apparatus at a predetermined interval. The bad sector is recovered, when the bad sector is detected at the detecting, by overwriting data on the bad sector with a duplication of the data, and when overwriting fails, by writing the duplication of the data on other sector.
