ABSTRACT:
A magneto-optical disk 1 has a track, wherein one of the sidewalls (sidewall 4) of a groove 2 is wobbled by a wobble signal, and is provided with a notch 5 in the track having a different frequency from the wobble signal. The absolute position of the magneto-optical disk 1 is detected with a sample bit stored by the notch 5 of the track, and an information bit is stored with a recording/reproducing clock synchronizing with that position. By forming the notch 5 in this manner, information can always be recorded at the same information bit position, regardless of how many times information is rewritten. Therefore, a gap area and a buffer area, which have conventionally been essential, are not needed on the optical disk. Consequently, it is possible to use a recording area effectively.
