Abstract

The operating system is a collection of programes (algorithms) designed to manage all the computer system resources, such as processors, main storage and secondary storage, and input/output devices. Optical and magnetic disks are the most common secondary storage devices. The work described in this paper is mainly directed to the optical disk. Different optical disk storage technologies are discussed in terms of information about physical disk storage, file systems and access methods. Comparisons are also made between magnetic and optical disk storages.
