ABSTRACT:
A file managing method is disclosed. In the method, data is sequentially recorded with a predetermined continuous recording unit basis in a data section, and a flag indicative of addition of file data is provided in directories which manage file data. When data is additionally recorded into existing files, the data to be added is sequentially recorded into a data section as another file. The directories to manage the additional file data are recorded into a directory section by incrementing the flag. In the reproducing mode, the files having the same name and different flags are managed as a single file which has been divisionally recorded in accordance with the order of the numbers of the flags. In the recording mode of the additional data, if an invalid data section exists in the last recording information unit of the file into which the data is added, the data recorded in the last recording information unit is stored into a buffer memory and the data to be newly added is additionally sequentially recorded after the stored data. In the reproducing mode, the file other than the file whose flag has the maximum value among the files having the same file name and the different flags are managed as a recording unit region in which the last recording unit region is invalid.
