ABSTRACT:
A flux guide protected magnetoresistive sensor in a tape drive read/write head is presented. The magnetoresistive sensor has a tape bearing surface, and includes a magnetoresistive sensing element and a flux guide disposed on a surface of the magnetoresistive sensing element to form a portion of the tape bearing surface.
