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.
