Abstract
In some implementations, a recording medium includes a plurality of data areas, a plurality of data area separating sections, and one or more blank zones. Each data area is configured to store data. Each data area separating section is disposed between the data areas and extends in parallel with respect to the data areas. Each data area separating section is configured to prevent data from being written into the data area separating section. Each blank zone extends in a direction perpendicular to the data areas and is configured to record written data.
