ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method and apparatus for removing vibration due to the imbalance of weight of a disc in a disc drive, in which the allowable high multi-speed of a disc is determined based on the allowable amount of vibration in the disc drive and the disc drive is actuated within a range of the allowable high multi-speed. The method includes detecting the amount of vibration corresponding to the degree of imbalance of the weight of a disc inserted into the disc drive and increasing a set high multi-speed of the disc drive until the amount of vibration reaches an allowable amount of vibration with respect to the disc drive. Accordingly, vibration in a disc drive can be controlled such that a user cannot perceive it and damages to the disc drive due to the vibration can be minimized.
