The method prevents an optical disk from being scraped by an optical
apparatus of a pickup head of an optical disc drive is disclosed, it
mainly includes: moving the optical apparatus of the pickup head to a
detection position in which the laser-light emitted from the pickup head
focuses on the optical disk; detecting the first-detection position and
setting a movement boundary according to the first-detection position,
wherein the movement boundary has a upper boundary and a bottom boundary;
preventing the optical apparatus from moving out of the movement
boundary. The present method can be implemented without installing any
additional apparatus in the original video disc player, and can prevent
the optical disk and the inner apparatus of the optical disc drive from
being scraped or damaged by the pickup head during a read/write process
to increase the service life of the optical disk and the optical disc
drive.
