    摘要: An information storage apparatus has a disk medium setting data recording areas along a plurality of tracks concentrically arranged, a head for recording and reproducing data on tracks of the disk medium, an actuator for moving the head to a desired track among the plurality of tracks. Also included is an electric circuit for controlling recording and reproducing in response to detecting the distance from a recorded magnetization pattern on an adjacent track in the radial direction by detecting previously recorded signals on adjacent tracks while data recording. Even if the track density is increased, the upper limit of a threshold value of a function for preventing off-track recording of the information storage apparatus can be increased and a high track density of the information storage apparatus can be easily realized.

    摘要: When the amount of position error PE of a magnetic head meets the condition of Ewf>PE>=Eww for two threshold values Ewf and Eww meeting Ewf>Eww, the track is registered in the track information table as a track requiring rewrite and the tracks on both sides neighboring to the track are temporarily write-inhibited. The data of the track is rewritten on another track later so as to maintain the data. By doing this, the offtrack of the recording track can be made smaller without sacrifice of the access speed and the occurrence probability of write fault can be reduced. Furthermore, the reliability of a magnetic disk apparatus can be improved.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a process that monitors a magnetic playback signal while gradually increasing an electricity supply amount for a heater to thereby determine contact between a magnetic head slider and a magnetic disk medium. According to one embodiment, after components for configuring a magnetic recording/playback portion are assembled into a housing, magnetic information is played back on a specific track of a magnetic disk medium by using a playback element while gradually increasing an electricity supply amount for a heater of a magnetic head slider. An amplitude of a playback signal is measured at a plurality of portions along a circumferential direction of the track. Contact between the magnetic head slider and the magnetic disk medium is detected in accordance with an increase in variation in the measured amplitude. Then, a value obtained by subtracting an predetermined value of an electricity amount from an electricity amount in the event of detection of the contact is stored (set) as an appropriate electricity amount for the magnetic head slider into a storage portion.

    摘要: Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a degaussing device and a degaussing method capable of efficiently degaussing a magnetic disk, especially, a magnetic disk of the perpendicular magnetic recording system, without resorting to a magnetic field of a high intensity. Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a degaussing method of degaussing a magnetic disk not yet installed in a magnetic disk drive by applying an external magnetic field to the magnetic disk by a degaussing device. In accordance with one embodiment, the method includes disposing the magnetic disk in the degaussing device such that the direction of an external magnetic field is inclined at an angle to the axis of easy magnetization of the magnetic disk.
