Patent number: 7133242Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a magnetic disk drive and magnetic disk drive control method for unloading a head safely with a simple configuration when a positioning control signal cannot be detected due, for instance, to a seek error. In one embodiment, when a head cannot detect servo information prerecorded on a disk, a positioning control section resets and starts a time counting section, and switches to an unloading control section for causing the unloading control section to output a position control signal to a VCM driver. The time counting section counts tacho-pulses generated by a motor driver, and outputs time information. The unloading control section receives the time information from the time counting section. In accordance with the received time information, the unloading control section computes the position control signal that the positioning control section outputs to the VCM driver.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2005Date of Patent: November 7, 2006Assignee: Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Yoshikatsu Fujii, Sadahiro Nishida, Osamu Beppu, Shinji Matsushita, Hidefumi Tominaga
