Lead-In Area On a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-

RAM, or DVD+RW disc, a data area at the beginning

of the disc that is left blank for the disc’s (or session’s)

Table of Contents (TOC). The TOC will be recorded

when the disc (or session) is ﬁnalized and closed.

Lead-Out Area On a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-

RAM, or DVD+RW disc, a data area at the end of the

disc (or session) that indicates the end of the disc/layer

(or session) has been reached.

Logical File Format Translates the sector-and-mode

view of a Compact Disc into a virtual “tree” of direc-

tories and ﬁles, which makes it easier for both humans

and computers to use the information on the disc. In

this CD, for brevity, we often call it simply the logical

format or logical ﬁle system.

Magnetic Hard Disk Sometimes called a Winchester

disk, the generic term for this storage medium is “hard

disk”, and it refers to the ﬁxed magnetic storage devic-

es supplied with almost all personal computers and

workstations. Capacities range from 20 Megabytes to

over 9 Gigabytes.

Magneto Optical (MO) The technology used by most

rewritable optical drives. It uses a laser to heat magnet-

ic recording media until its resistance to reversing its

magnetic polarity falls at which time a small magnet

reverses the ﬁeld.

Mastering The process of creating a glass master from

which Compact Discs or DVD discs will be repro-

duced. Data is read from a tape (or CD-R/DVD-R disc)

to a powerful modulated laser beam that “engraves”

the corresponding pits into a photo-resistant surface.
