ABSTRACT:
An optical disk drive for initializing an optical disk by dividing a recording area into zones and by assigning logical addresses to each of the zones. The disk drive includes a medium management table for providing rewritable assignment order data describing an order in which the respective zones receive logical addresses, a formatter for performing the initialization of the optical disk while assigning logical addresses to one of the zones after another in accordance with the assignment order data, and an address assignment order changer. The changer changes the logical address assignment order with respect to the zones, rewrites the current assignment order data in the medium management table in accordance with the changed logical address assignment order, and writes the rewritten assignment order data to the optical disk.
