Method and apparatus for monitoring temperature

A disc drive includes a base and a disc rotatably attached to the base. The disc drive also includes an actuator assembly rotatably attached to said base and a device for moving the actuator assembly. The disc drive also includes at least one sensor for sensing disturbances to the disc drive. The disc drive has a system microprocessor in electrical communication with the sensor. In the event a read error is detected, a plurality of sets of corrective procedures are stored in the random access memory of the microprocessor. The system microprocessor executes the sets of corrective procedures in an order in response to the sensed disturbances input to the system microprocessor.
