Abstract
Selection of disk drive data tracks for the location of reserved area include providing a media disk with data tracks comprising a user data region. A location is assessed on the media disk with a highest frequency of adjacent track interference and far track interference-refresh potential. The location is then configured to be a reserved area where no user data is written. The reserved area has parameters that are read out first before the disk drive enters an operation enabled state for user interface.
