Abstract
A magnetic disk incorporated into a magnetic disk device is divided radially into a plurality of areas. An inner-circumference area has servo information written thereon at a low frequency. An outer-circumference area has servo information written thereon at a high frequency. The magnetic disk device creates concentric tracks on the magnetic disk with a magnetic disk rotation center as the center of the concentric tracks and selects a dividing track that acts as a demarcation for switching the area from which servo information will be read. The magnetic disk device then deletes all the servo information that is not going to be read in each of the areas divided by the dividing track.
