Abstract
A technique for writing a servo-pattern on a storage medium located in a recording device having an internal recording head. A timing pattern is generated on the storage medium with the internal recording head and a radial positioning value is determined in order to radially position the internal recording head. The servo-pattern is written using the internal recording head at locations determined by the timing pattern and the radial positioning value.
