1. An information recording method which uses a head for recording information onto at least an information storage medium, a head moving mechanism for moving said head to the information storage medium, and a control section for controlling the moving position of said head by controlling said head moving mechanism and records information onto said information storage medium, said information recording method comprising the steps of:

  • defining a file unit as a first unit to record information onto said information storage medium, and further defining a contiguous data area unit to be treated as a continuous recording area as a second unit to decrease the frequency of accessing of said optical head and thereby enable continuous recording onto said information storage medium, doing recording in said contiguous data area units and organizing a collection of the contiguous data area units into said file unit, and providing an information recording place in such a manner that said contiguous data area unit is so set that it extends over the recording area of another file already recorded on said information storage medium and a defective area on said information storage medium.
