Abstract
Three kinds of stop patterns are recorded at the same cylinder position of at least three recording surfaces of disk media. Each pattern is a division pattern in which one circumference is divided into two portions and which are recorded therein. Phases of the division patterns are sequentially deviated in the circumferential direction every 120.degree.. When a motor is activated, the motor stop position is detected on the basis of the stop patterns of the disk media and activating conditions to rotate the motor in a predetermined direction, thereby activating the brushless DC motor having no Hall sensor.
