Abstract
A method of writing product servo sectors to a disk of a disk drive is disclosed. The disk comprises a plurality of spiral tracks, wherein each spiral track comprises a high frequency signal interrupted by a sync mark at a sync mark interval. The head internal to the disk drive is used to read the spiral tracks to generate a read signal. The read signal is integrated to generate a ramp signal, wherein a position error signal is generated from the ramp signal. The position error signal is used to maintain the head internal to the disk drive along a servo track while writing product servo sectors along the servo track.
