We propose two error correcting algorithms for high-density optical storage systems. The first algorithm reduces the false-erasure declaration by reducing the sensitivity on random errors and increases the code rate using a simple erasure indication method. The second one exploits just the known indicator flag instead of error correcting code such as Reed-Solomon(RS) code. The proposed algorithms are superior to the error correcting algorithms of conventional systems such as DVD and BD.
