A magnetic recording medium has a RAM region and a ROM region. The RAM region includes a plurality of first tracks each having a first magnetic portion. The first magnetic portions in adjacent tracks are separated from each other. The ROM region includes a plurality of second tracks each having a second magnetic portion. A width of the second magnetic portions in a direction perpendicular to a track direction of the first tracks is larger than that of the first magnetic portions in the perpendicular direction.

According to one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium comprises forming a protective film on a ferromagnetic recording layer containing Cobalt (Co) on a substrate and forming a recess in both the protective film and the ferromagnetic recording layer at a part where a nonmagnetic layer is to be formed. The method further comprises removing Co from a part of the recess of the ferromagnetic recording layer to form the nonmagnetic layer that separates magnetic patterns made of the ferromagnetic recording layer containing Co. The nonmagnetic layer has an identical chemical composition as the ferromagnetic recording layer, except for the nonmagnetic layer having a lower Co concentration than the magnetic patterns.

A method for manufacturing an imprint stamper includes the steps of forming a first electroformed layer on a concavo-convex pattern of an original disk with the pattern, peeling off the first electroformed layer to provide a first stamper, forming a second electroformed layer on a concavo-convex pattern of the first stamper, peeling off the second electroformed layer to provide a second stamper, forming a third electroformed layer on a concavo-convex pattern of the second stamper, and peeling off the third electroformed layer to provide a third stamper. In addition, a conductive film is formed at least on one of a bottom of the concave portion and a top surface of the convex portion of the concavo-convex pattern at least in one of the first stamper and the second stamper.
