ABSTRACT:
An optical disk has four copies or sets of its control data structures. The control data structure includes a disk definition structure DDS, a primary defect list PDL, and a secondary defect list SDL. Procedures are described for checking to whether or not all copies of the data structures have congruence. If not, all the tables are then made congruent and re-recorded on a disk. In the procedure, the copy having the greatest number of entries is first examined for determining whether or not congruence is possible. If congruence is not possible from the longest copy, then the next longest copy is used.
