A method of recording data to an area including a defective ECC block of a DVD+RW, and an optical disk written in the recording method are provided. In the method, when data is recorded to an area including a defective ECC block, data recording ends at an ECC block right before the defective ECC block. Then, the data recording resumes from the last 8 channel bits of the ECC block immediately after the defective ECC block. Accordingly, recording/reproducing of data to/from an optical disk is consistently performed.
