ABSTRACT:
A method for determining a position of track-0 and mapping tracks according thereto is disclosed. In a method for mapping tracks of a disk drive apparatus which uses a multiplatter system and stores track-0 information in a maintenance region, a head on a platter including track-0 is switched to sequentially search tracks along the surface of the platter from the track-0. When the head is positioned at an outer track or an inner track during track search, the head is switched to sequentially search tracks of the selected platter, and the track search for all the platters of multiple platters is repeated.
