ABSTRACT:
A method for servo formatting disc media for a disc drive. The method includes (a) establishing a first timing decode pattern of transitions that precedes a first alignment pattern of transitions, that has a centerline substantially colinear with a centerline of the first alignment pattern and located at the boundary of one of a plurality of data tracks; (b) establishing a second timing decode pattern of transitions that precedes the data track and that has a centerline that is substantially colinear with the centerline of the data track; and (c) establishing a third timing decode pattern of transitions that precedes the second alignment pattern of transitions, and that has a centerline substantially colinear with the centerline of the second alignment pattern of transitions. The above method provides servo formatting for precisely detecting a read timing of the first and second alignment patterns.
