FIELD: physics, measurement.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a recording medium, in particular, to an optical recording disk containing at least one recording track having a physical volume with addressable blocks. The recording medium contains at least one recording track containing an administration area and a physical volume of addressable logical blocks; the said physical volume is subdivided into a logical volume and at least one spare area; the said logical volume is physically continuous and only one spare area is located in the beginning of the physical volume. Alternatively, the said spare area is located in the end of the physical volume and has a size determined by the user during input.
