ABSTRACT:
A method for managing a flash memory is provided wherein logical addresses of data recorded in a data region of the flash memory are recorded in a corresponding spare region. An address mapping table is produced by scanning information recorded in the spare region. As a result, the flash memory can be embodied more effectively. In addition, it is possible to restore a mapping table even though the power is suddenly cut-off.
