ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In an information recording and reproducing apparatus using a disc-shaped information recording medium having a plurality of recording tracks, each of which recording tracks is divided into a plurality of sectors, to record and reproduce information on and from the information recording medium on a sector-by-sector basis, when a target sector is detected to be a defective sector whose address can not be reproduced, in the first place, a reference sector, which is positioned preceding the defective target sector and whose address can be reproduced, is detected. Then, a rotational latency time from the detected reference sector to the defective target sector is measured by using: a time measuring circuit for measuring the rotational latency time per se; or a counter circuit for counting the number of a sector mark or sector marks which indicate the presence of an associated sector or sectors and which are detected during the rotational latency time, so that the defective target sector may be taken to be a normally detected target sector whereby information may be recorded and reproduced on and from the defective target sector, thereby making it possible to perform recording and reproduction of information on and from a defective sector whose address can not be reproduced.
