Abstract
A control apparatus detects positional information of a head performing writing processing every predetermined time interval, and computes next-sample projected positional information of the head based on the difference between the positional information detected the previous time and the positional information detected the current time, and the current detected positional information for every position information detected. The control apparatus determines whether the computed next-sample projected positional information is greater than a next-sample projected position threshold which is a predetermined threshold. Following this, in the case that determination is made that the next-sample projected positional information is greater than the projected position threshold, the disk control apparatus controls a storage device to stop the writing processing after the writing processing is performed through the end of the sector wherein the writing processing is currently being performed.
