ABSTRACT:
A tray control method for a disk drive including a tray for carrying a disk, a detect switch movable to different inclined positions for detecting different positions of the tray during tray retraction operation, a firmware for receiving signals transmitted by the detect switch upon reaching the different inclined positions. The firmware determines whether the disk is present on the tray when a traverse module is raised from a lower position to an upper position.
