Abstract
A disk drive is disclosed including a disk having a plurality of tracks, wherein each track comprises a plurality of servo sectors. The disk drive further comprises a head having a read element offset from a write element by a reader/writer offset. The read element is positioned over a first track and the write element is positioned over a second track. A first servo control signal is generated for servoing the head in response to the servo sectors in the first track, and first wedge repeatable runout (RRO) data is written to the second track along a substantially sinusoidal path corresponding to the reader/writer offset, wherein the first wedge RRO data are for writing data to a third track.
