Abstract
To improve the track density by reducing the discontinuity of servo patterns to be generated by a servo track writer, some servo areas existing in one circuit of a magnetic disk are formed at the consecutive first and second circuits of a servo track writer by averaging a plurality of position signals detected from servo patterns at the first and second circuits of the magnetic disk.
