An information processing apparatus has a detection unit to detect a recording medium and initiates a program read from the recording medium detected by the detection unit. In the information processing apparatus, an operation check unit performs an operation check of the recording medium detected by the detection unit. An authentication check unit performs an authentication check of the recording medium detected by the detection unit. An error notification unit notifies an operator of an error of the recording medium if at least one of a result of the operation check and a result of the authentication check is an error.
