Abstract

A method of servo writing 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 periodically by a sync mark. A timing recovery measurement is generated in response to the sync marks, wherein the timing recovery measurement comprises a sinusoidal component. A timing compensation value is generated in response to the sync marks which estimates the sinusoidal component in the timing recovery measurement. A frequency control signal is generated in response to the timing recovery measurement and the timing compensation value, a servo write clock is generated in response to the frequency control signal, and the servo write clock and the head internal to the disk drive are used to write the product servo sectors to the disk.
