Abstract
A processor processes data read from plural data tracks on a data-containing medium. The data tracks include markers. The processor determines if markers are detected in a predetermined number of the tracks within a predetermined time interval starting with detection of a first marker. In first and second embodiments, the number equals all the read tracks and less than all the read tracks. In the second embodiment, the processor asserts the markers into the data associated with the tracks that do not have detected markers.
