Abstract
A disk drive for use with a digital video disk has an adjustable head load ramp mounted to a housing. The head load ramp comprises a ramp body having a proximal end, a distal end and a cam surface near the distal end. An adjustment mechanism at the proximal end adjustably couples the ramp body to the housing, such that adjustment of the adjustment mechanism varies a height of the cam surface relative to the digital video disk by pivoting the ramp body at a pivot disposed between the proximal end and the distal end.
