ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method and apparatus for positioning a magnetoresistive (MR) head relative to a storage medium in a storage device. The storage medium is mounted in the storage device to allow relative movement between the MR head and the storage medium. The storage medium includes servo information provided to induce a thermal response in the MR head. A controller controls the relative movement between the MR head and the storage medium using the thermal response induced in the MR head.
