Abstract
A recording and reproducing device comprises a plurality of hard disks H,through Hp, an error checker,for detecting write errors produced in the respective hard disks H,through Hp, a memory,for storing therein a logical address for the hard disk H,from which the write error is detected, and a computing unit,for recovering data to be recorded on the write error-detected hard disk H,, based on data recorded on other hard disks H,, H,and Hp from which no write errors are detected. When the logical address for the write error-detected hard disk H,is designated, the post-recovery record data is outputted. According to this, since the write error of each hard disk, which has occurred upon writing, can be automatically corrected, the present device can be continuously activated without missing continuity for a request for recording and reproduction of video/audio data.
