In a data conversion auxiliary module which is at a higher level than a file system in a disk management hierarchy, data stored in a storage medium, which becomes an object, is successively accessed. Then, a data conversion module captures a sector-unit access request to a device driver from the file system, converts data of a sector which is returned from the device driver, and writes the conversion data in the sector. Thereby, data conversion can be executed on a specific region of the storage medium, which is associated with the data in the storage medium.

A magneto-optical head apparatus of a recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a light beam generating unit, an objective lens, a separating optical element, a reflecting mirror, and a photodetector. The objective lens converges a light beam emitted from the light beam generating unit on a point on an optical axis, e.g., a point on the recording layer of a magneto-optical recording medium. The separating optical element deflects the light beam emitted from the light beam generating unit, and separates the light beam emitted from the light beam generating unit and a light beam through the objective lens. The reflecting mirror deflects the light beam emitted from the light beam generating unit and deflected by the separating optical element at 90.degree. so that the light beam is led to the objective lens. The photodetector receives the light beam irradiating through the objective lens and passing through the separating optical element.
