Abstract
A recording apparatus that performs at least recording on a recording medium including a user-data recording area, a first temporary-management-information recording area, one or plural second temporary-management-information recording areas, and area-use-state presenting areas includes a recording unit that performs the recording on the recording medium and a controlling unit that controls the recording unit. The controlling unit determines whether information recording is successful and controls, when it is determined that the information recording fails, the recording unit to record temporary management information in the second temporary-management-information recording area in which temporary management information should be recorded following the second temporary-management-information recording area corresponding to the area-use-state presenting area in which the information recording fails, and, then, perform information recording in the area-use-state presenting area associated with the second temporary-management-information recording area.
