[0070] Since the block diagram of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, illustration is omitted.
[0071] When the same address is overwritten in the reverse order write and ascending order write (the decimal point of step / 2 is rounded off), such as Figure 2C As shown in , the width of the address written in the final step of the ascending-order write that is not overwritten is very large compared with the width of other addresses. In order to eliminate this, in the first embodiment, in ascending order writing, a value obtained by rounding off the decimal point of (step-1) / 2 is written as an address. As a result, such as Figure 6A As shown, by shifting the position of the address one step inward, the width of the address written in the final step of ascending-order writing becomes the write head width MWW, which is substantially equal to the width of other addresses. However, the write head width MWW is 2.5 times the stride width, and the other...

[0076] In the first and second embodiments, the switching step between reverse order writing and ascending order writing is set as a predetermined radial position (step), but the third embodiment is based on Figure 7 According to the principle shown, the switching step is automatically determined when writing in reverse order. Figure 7 The horizontal axis of is the radial position (the left side is the inner circumference, and the right side is the outer circumference), and the vertical axis is the gain of the servo AGC circuit included in the read / write channel 30 . The servo AGC circuit is a variable amplifier that amplifies the reproduced signal in order to keep the amplitude of the reproduced signal constant when reproducing the servo data. In the third embodiment, the servo data written with the write head is read out as read data. When the write head is located on the innermost circumference, servo data cannot be read because the read head is located on the outer peri...

[0080] In the above-described embodiments, the servo data was written to the disk on which the spiral pattern was written by an external device, but the eccentricity of the disk was not assumed. However, in reality, a spiral pattern written by an external device may have an eccentric component and may not be a perfect circle. Due to the configuration of the spiral pattern, it is difficult to perform so-called imaginary circle control that removes eccentricity while following the spiral pattern. If there is eccentricity, a plurality of tracks are included in the switching area between reverse-order writing and ascending-order writing when the driver performs virtual circle control. When writing servo data bidirectionally, since the track pitch varies to some extent in the switching area between reverse-order writing and ascending-order writing, data cannot be written in such a switching area where servo data is written. However, in the case where the virtual circle control is ...
