Abstract
Steps for isolating and correcting total written-in repeatable run-out error written into servo sectors of a disc drive include, determining a total repeatable run-out error value for each servo sector, isolating a repeatable error value component of the total written-in repeatable run-out error value for each servo sector, removing the repeatable error value component from total written-in repeatable run-out error value to provide a non-repeatable error value component of the total written-in repeatable run-out error value for each servo sector, providing both the repeatable and non-repeatable error value components to a processor for generation of compensation signals, and applying the compensation signals into a servo control circuit of control loop of the disc drive using compensation circuits to compensate for each component of the total written-in repeatable run-out error.
