Abstract
A method for controlling a data read/write operation of a disk drive recording device provided with re-allocated reserve sectors as a substitute for defective sectors, includes the steps of: reading data written on the reserve sectors when turning the power on and further storing the data, and disposing the data stored after being retrieved from the re-allocated reserve sectors as a substitute for defective sectors to the rear of data retrieved from a sector preceding the defective sector when accessing a random data section containing the defective sector, and further transferring the resulting data.
