Abstract
An operating method of a memory controller to control a nonvolatile memory device includes receiving information about operation failure from the nonvolatile memory device, receiving lock-out status information from the nonvolatile memory device, determining whether a lock-out signal is output based on the lock-out status information, and determining a failure block corresponding to the information about the operation failure as a normal block or a bad block depending on the determination result.
