Abstract
A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk comprising tracks defined by servo sectors, a head, and control circuitry comprising a servo control system operable to actuate the head over the disk in response to the servo sectors. The servo control system is configured into a first state, and a position error signal (PES) representing a difference between a target location for the head and a measured location for the head is generated. An actuator control signal is generated in response to the PES, a feed-forward control signal is adapted in response to the servo sectors, and the actuator control signal is adjusted using the feed-forward control signal. The servo control system is configured from the first state to a second state, and a phase of the adaptation of the feed-forward control signal is adjusted based on the second state.
