  • Patent number: 7532424
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention reduce the effect of the rotational jitters to write a pattern in more accurate timing in self-writing a pattern on a magnetic disk. In an embodiment of the invention, respective patterns in N sectors are first written on an inner circumferential side track as reference patterns with a default clock frequency and a default clock number (a writing interval clock number between respective patterns). The respective reference patterns are then read out plural times for measuring intervals thereof to determine an average value of intervals between the respective sectors. Using the value, a target value is calculated in each sector, which is used in wiring new patterns on the outer circumferential side at even intervals. Then, the respective reference patterns on the inner circumferential side track are read out while the new patterns are written on the outer circumferential side.

  • Patent number: 7474485
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention reduce the information (storage) overhead for determining the rotational position of a magnetic disk medium, as well as reducing the rotational position detection time. In one embodiment, a sector servo magnetic disk medium is configured such that: each track is divided into blocks each including a series of sectors; each block stores a positional information bit string as rotational position information; the positional information bit string is made up of a position code and an identification code, the position code including a block number, the identification code being used to identify the start or the end of the position code; and each bit of the positional information bit string is stored in a different sector of the block. When each block is made up of 12 sectors, for instance, if the block number is denoted as b0b1b2b3b4b5, the positional information bit string may be expressed as 00001b0b1b21b3b4b5, where the first 5 bits “00001” constitute an identification code.
