An administrative system receives unique ID information of disk from an
orderer for ordering manufacture of the disks and provides the unique ID
information for a disk maker. The maker stores on the disk unique
attribute information of the disk including identification information
for the disk maker side. The administrative system obtains normal
recording information generated if normal recording is carried out when
recording on the disk the unique attribute information of the disk.
Alternatively, the administrative system obtains abnormal recording
information generated if abnormal recording is carried out. Disk
administrative information, for example, number of pieces of the disks
delivered from the factory, is generated from the obtained normal and
abnormal recording information.
