Abstract
A method for programming a non-volatile memory including a plurality of blocks, each block including a plurality of sections, each section including at least one page, and each page including a plurality of memory cells. The method includes checking a current section of the plurality of sections against a damaged section table to determine whether the current section is damaged. The damaged section table records information about whether a section in the memory is good or damaged. The method further includes using the current section for programming if the current section is not damaged.
