Only the TOC is actually updated. However, as there is no backup of the
TOC anywhere, once it is erased the only way to reconstruct it is a hunt
and peck method, going from sector to sector on the disc and stringing them
together by hand. It should be apparant why this is not considered to be a
viable option.
