ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for synchronizing movements of a magnetic head and an optical head of a magneto-optical disk drive. A magnetic head carriage moves a magnetic head between a standby position and a head application position. An optical head carriage supports an optical head to read at least identification tracks of a magneto-optical disk. A synchronizing device synchronizes linear positions of the magnetic head carriage and the optical head carriage, such that the magnetic head carriage is proximate an outermost position of the magnetic head carriage and the optical head carriage is proximate an outermost position of the optical head carriage when the synchronizing device synchronizes the linear positions of the magnetic head carriage and the optical head carriage.
