A system writes and reads information blocks on a record carrier and generates status information which is indicative of the fact that at least one area of the record carrier has been written. The status information includes initial-area information which is indicative of an uninterrupted written initial area which extends from the start of a track pattern area intended for writing information blocks. The status information may be fixed on the record carrier.
