A method and apparatus for exactly compensating for a track zero position when copying a reference servo pattern in a disc drive adopting a reference servo track copying method. The method of compensating for a track zero position in a reference servo track copy system for copying a reference servo pattern in a head disc assembly into which a reference disc, on which the reference servo pattern is recorded, produced offline and at least one blank disc are assembled, includes: searching for a collision position of an actuator arm against a stopper for limiting the displacement of the actuator arm on the reference servo pattern; calculating an optimal track zero position based on the searched collision position; and copying the reference servo pattern on all disc surfaces from the calculated optimal track zero position.

Provided is a self servo writing method of writing a final servo signal based on a reference servo signal in a hard disk drive, and more particularly, a method of writing a uniform final self servo signal by compensating for a non-uniform width of tracks where a reference servo signal is written, a hard disk drive using the method, and recording medium storing the method. The self servo writing method includes measuring the width of a target track based on the reference servo information, calculating the deviation between the measured width and a target width, and writing the final servo information while following the target track based on the center position of the target track calculated using the reference servo information and the calculated deviation of track width. According to the self servo writing method, the final servo information is written on tracks having a uniform width, even if the reference servo information is written on tracks having a non-uniform width.

A fast settling servo control method and apparatus for a hard disc drive and a method and apparatus estimate an acceleration coefficient of a voice coil motor (VCM) actuator suitable for the settling servo control method and apparatus for disc drives, which allow a head to stably and rapidly move to a target track when a track seek operation is performed in the hard disk drive. The settling servo control apparatus includes a state estimator which estimates position information of a head, velocity information of the head, voice coil motor (VCM) current information, and external disturbance information based on a position error signal (PES); a feedback gain multiplier which respectively multiplies the position information of the head and the velocity information of the head by predetermined feedback control gains each and outputs the multiplication results as feedback control inputs; a pulse generator which generates a pulse signal used for cancellation of slow poles with reference to at least one of initial VCM current information, initial external disturbance information, and previous control input information as well as initial position information of a head and initial velocity information of the head; and an adder which sums the feedback control inputs, the external disturbance information, and the pulse signal generated from the pulse generator and outputs the summation result to a voice coil motor (VCM) actuator as a control input.
