ABSTRACT:
A head positioning system accurately positions a read/write head along a selected track of a rotating magnetic disk. In one aspect, servo information is embedded along the track with the centerline of the servo information offset a radial distance from the centerline of data stored or written along the track. The head positioning system micro-jogs the read/write head a first and a second radial distance from the centerline of servo information for a read operation and a write operation.
