ABSTRACT:
A method for determining whether particular information was used in encoding a codeword; the codeword is formed by encoding information as a first preliminary code sequence using a first code and then combining the first preliminary code sequence with a second preliminary code sequence generated using a second code; the particular information is encoded as a desired first preliminary code sequence in accordance with said first code; the desired first preliminary code sequence is then stripped from the codeword to derive a test sequence; the test sequence is decoded in accordance with the second code, and a determination is made, based on the decoding, whether the particular information was used in encoding the codeword. In another aspect, bad sector, servo correction, and sector address values are encoded for storage in a header associated with a sector of storage on a storage medium by encoding the address value with leading zero symbols in accordance with a code having a first rate, encoding the bad sector and servo correction values in a systematic code having a second rate, and combining these sequences to generate a codeword of the first code such that the bad sector and servo correction values appear explicitly in the codeword.
