ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a disk drive by demodulating product servo sectors and spiral tracks written on a disk of the disk drive is disclosed. An external spiral servo writer writes a plurality of spiral tracks that spiral from an outer diameter to an inner diameter of the disk. Each spiral track comprises a high frequency signal interrupted at a predetermined interval by a sync mark. The spiral tracks are used to write product servo sectors to the disk during a fill operation. Common circuitry, such as burst demodulation circuitry, is used to demodulate the high frequency signal in the spiral tracks during the fill operation as well as demodulate the product servo sectors.
