A link writing method for a recordable or rewritable compact disk includes recording
a writing interruption address and enabling a succeeding writing process after
the writing interruption. Enabling a succeeding writing process includes searching
the linking area and enabling a start writing signal and activating a laser power.
The method can link a succeeding writing area with a previously written interrupted
area with sufficient accuracy to allow the data frame to be successfully processed
by error correction within the host drive. The linking area may be positioned by
counting the values of the interrupted block, the interrupted data frame, and the
interrupted bit count or by detecting a blank area. Other techniques for positioning
the linking area include detecting an unwritten area having a length greater than
a maximum or writing a characteristic pattern after an interruption.
