Abstract
A method of controlling recording and a hard disk drive (HDD) using the same. The HDD has heads in which a write head and a read head are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined gap in a track direction, and the method includes: reading a table having a head gap time corresponding to the gap between the write head and the read head and a disk linear velocity; and beginning a write operation by delaying the write operation by the head gap time from a data sector pulse. Accordingly, since a gap between a servo sector and a data sector and between data sectors can be reduced by the length corresponding to a head gap time, the usage efficiency of a data area can be increased.
