ABSTRACT:
An optical information recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing information on and from an optical recording disk having an optically detectable guide track divided into a plurality of sectors is disclosed. When a sector to or from which a data is to be recorded or reproduced is a defective sector or a non-use sector because of updating, a special pattern signal is recorded on the defective sector or the non-use sector, and if the recorded special pattern signal is detected in the reproduction cycle, that sector is determined as a defective or non-use sector and recording or reproducing on or from that sector is inhibited.
