Abstract
A magnetic tape recording device includes a region setting device for setting on a magnetic tape a plurality of data regions in which data are recorded, a data recording device for recording data in the data regions, a section identifier recording device for recording a section identifier representative of the head of each data region, and a control unit for controlling the section identifier recording device so as to record a section identifier representative of the head of a second data region immediately after a data is recorded in a first data region in response to the region setting device. With this recording device, the magnetic tape is not required to be formatted so as to attain data regions in advance recording the data. This leads to an improved operability of the recording device in recording the data on the magnetic tape.
