1. A method for using non-volatile storage elements, comprising:
programming a first non-volatile storage elements and a second set of non-volatile storage elements, said first set of non-volatile
storage elements and said second set of non-volatile storage elements each store first and second groupings of data, said
programming includes writing to a particular non-volatile storage element with respect to said second grouping of data subsequent
to writing to adjacent non-volatile storage elements for said first grouping of data;
reading charge information from said second set of non-volatile storage elements; and
performing a read operation on said first set of non-volatile storage elements, said read operation uses a first compensation
for non-volatile storage elements of said first set of non-volatile storage elements adjacent to non-volatile storage elements
of said second set of non-volatile storage elements that have charge information read which provide a first indication and
said read operation does not use said first compensation for non-volatile storage elements of said first set of non-volatile
storage elements adjacent to non-volatile storage elements of said second set of non-volatile storage elements that have charge
information read which does not provide said first indication.
