ABSTRACT:
In a read operation in a read/write apparatus, an error process determination part determines whether or not an alternation process should be performed in a sector in which a read error has occurred. When it is determined that an alternation process should be performed, an address of a sector that is a target of the alternation process is stored in an automatic alternation address storage part. In a write operation, an automatic alternation process determination part determines whether or not a sector that is a target of the write operation has its address stored in the automatic alternation address storage part. When it is determined that the target address is stored, an automatic alternation process part performs an alternation process so as to allow a write process to be performed in an alternative area.
