A method is disclosed for efficiently determining and writing repeatable runout (RRO) compensation value sets for data tracks on a magnetic disk in a disk drive. The disk drive has a magnetoresistive (MR) head having a read element and a separate write element, and a secondary actuator coupled to the end of a primary actuator for adjusting a head skew angle. In the method, the head skew angle is set such that the read and write elements are substantially aligned along the first track. A position error signal for each servo sector is determined over a predetermined number of disk revolutions during track following along a first data track. An RRO compensation value set is calculated for the first data track based on the position error signals. The RRO compensation value set is written for the first data track. A seek operation is then performed to a second data track.

A method is disclosed for writing repeatable runout (RRO) correction values to a disk of a disk drive. The disk has distributed position information in a plurality of embedded servo sectors. The transducer head has a read element that is offset from a write element. The write element is positioned over a target track while the distributed position information from a followed track is read using the read element. The target track is different from the followed track due to the offset between the read element and the write element. Previously determined RRO correction values associated with the target track are written at radial positions on the target track. The radial positions are based on the distributed position information of the followed track, previously determined RRO correction values associated with the followed track, and a portion of the previously determined RRO correction values associated with the target track.

A disk drive is disclosed employing a primary actuator for rotating an actuator arm about a pivot in coarse movements, and first and second secondary actuators coupled to the actuator arm for actuating first and second heads in fine movements. A servo control system generates a first control signal applied to the first secondary actuator to position the first head over the first disk surface in fine movements while accessing the first disk surface. The servo control system phase shifts the first control signal by a predetermined phase to generate a second control signal applied to the second secondary actuator to attenuate excitation of at least one arm vibration mode.

Disclosed is a method for generating a repeatable runout (RRO) compensation value set for a circular track on a magnetic medium on a surface of a disk in a disk drive. The magnetic medium has a plurality of previously written spiral servo tracks for providing position information during a self servo-writing operation. In the method, servo burst patterns are written at a plurality of radial locations on the magnetic data storage surface during circular tracking operations using the spiral servo tracks, and respective position error signals generated during the circular tracking operations are stored. The servo burst patterns at the plurality of radial locations define a circular data track. The RRO compensation value set for the circular data track may be generated based on the respective stored position error signals generated during the circular tracking operations for writing the servo burst patterns at the plurality of radial locations.
