The adaptive reading strategy performs a systematic search for readable
|
|
sectors. You will observe temporary gaps which will be closed in later
|
|
stages. Usually this effect is less pronounced as shown in the screen shot. If all defective
|
|
sectors are located at the end of the medium the reading process may even stop before touching
|
|
the first defective sector.
