Abstract
A voice coil motor control signal is detected being coupled into a vibration sensor of a hard disk drive. The vibration sensor is used to provide a feedforward signal to a servo control system of the hard disk drive. In response to detecting the coupling, the feedforward signal is modified to prevent instability of the servo control system.
