In a recording area capable of data recording, a recording medium provided with a main data area for recording / reproducing main data, a replacement area used for replacement processing, and a management information area for recording replacement management information for managing replacement processing On the other hand, as a replacement processing method of a recording device that performs recording in response to a recording request from the host device
On the recording medium, when detecting an object replacement area to be alternating process, causes a replacement process using the above spare area, the updating of the replacement management information in the management information area to reflect the intersection exchange process 1 processing step;
When the first processing step cannot be executed , the management is performed so that the replacement area is managed as a defective area without replacement processing without performing the replacement process for the replacement area. updates the replacement management information in the information area, a second processing step of further transmitted to the host device, the information for obtaining the corresponding processing can not replacing process for said object replacement area,
Recording without using the replacement area is performed in response to a recording request specifying an area other than the replacement area, which is transmitted from the host device in correspondence with the information transmitted in the second processing step. Recording step;
Replacement processing method Ru equipped with.   The replacement processing method according to claim 1, wherein the replacement area is an area to be replaced due to a defect on a recording medium.   The replacement processing method according to claim 1, wherein the recording medium is a recording medium that has been initialized as a recording medium that executes a replacement process using the replacement area.   The replacement processing method according to claim 1, wherein the recording medium is a writable recording medium or a rewritable recording medium. In a recording area capable of data recording, a recording medium provided with a main data area for recording / reproducing main data, a replacement area used for replacement processing, and a management information area for recording replacement management information for managing replacement processing On the other hand, as a recording device that performs recording in response to a recording request from the host device,
Writing means for writing data to the recording medium;
If there is data write request from said host device, for the object replacement area, causes the replacement process using the above spare area, the update of the replacement management information in the management information area to reflect the intersection exchange process If the first process is performed and the first process cannot be performed, the replacement area is not replaced with the replacement area, and the replacement area is managed as a defective area without the replacement process. The replacement management information in the management information area is updated as described above, and the second process of transmitting information for requesting the corresponding process that the replacement process cannot be performed on the replaced area to the host device is performed. Processing means;
With
In response to a recording request for designating an area different from the replacement area, which is transmitted from the host device in response to the information transmitted by the replacement processing means in the second process, the writing means A recording apparatus for performing recording without using the replacement area.
