Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the overwrite performance in the initial stage of write. SOLUTION: A write current W1 which is obtained by adding a boost current (Wboost) to a nominal current (Wnom) is supplied to a write head in the initial stage of the write, and after that time, the write current W2 consisting of the nominal current (Wnom) is supplied to the write-head.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the deterioration in performance in reading the data in alternate sectors. SOLUTION: It is assumed that a write request of data (a) is made to a sector A, but since the sector A is a defective sector, the data is written into the alternate sector A' of an alternate sector region X. Next, when the write request for data (b) is made to a sector B, the alternate sector B' succeeding to the alternate sector A is subjected to reassignment. The defective sector C to which the write request for data (c) is made is similarly reassigned to the alternate sector C'. Accordingly, the continuous data (a), (b) and (c) are eventually written into the continuos sectors A', B' and C' within the same alternate sector X.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data recording and reproducing method that is suitable for recording and reproducing AV data on/from a hark disk and the other randomly accessible recording media. SOLUTION: Two streams being a stream #1 and a stream #2 are set. And 2000 sectors are set about the stream #1, and 4000 sectors are set about the stream #2. AV stream data recorded on the hard disk can be accessed by specifying the AV stream number (#1 or #2) and an AV stream LBA. The AV stream LBA starts from 0(zero) and completes at the maximum AV stream LBA of each stream about each AV stream. For instance, the stream #1 ranges from 1 to 1999, and also, the stream #2 ranges from 0 to 3999.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the dummy writing method of a magnetic head capable of furthermore effectively executing the dummy write for recovering the write instability of the magnetic head. SOLUTION: In the dummy writing method for recovering the write instability of the magnetic head 3, this dummy write is operated in such a manner that the magnetic head 3 is thermally excited and the write-in operation is executed in this state by the magnetic head. Thus, the write instability is recovered furthermore surely than the operation recovering the write instability made by the independent dummy writing method. As for the method to thermally excite the magnetic head 3, a magnetic disk is rubbed with the magnetic head 3, or both of them are heated from the outside.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the performance of an information recording/reproducing device using a GMR(giant magnet resistance) sensor. SOLUTION: This method aims at the restoration of an operating error generated in an information recording/reproducing device including a storage medium, a head using a GMR sensor, an actuator arm for mounting the head and locating the head on a prescribed position on the front surface of the storage medium and a control part for controlling the operation of the actuator arm and read/write operation. At this time, it comprises a step for executing a first error restoring procedure 103, a step for executing a first GMR evaluating procedure 109 for evaluating the performance of the GMR sensor when the operating error is not restored in the first error restoring procedure and a step 117 for impressing a reset pulse to the GMR sensor in accordance with the first GMR evaluating procedure.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the time till a read status by including a step starting the revolution of a data recording disk by responding to a power-on and increasing its rotational speed, a step fixing the rotational speed of the disk at an intermediate rotational speed and a step reading the control program stored on the data recording disk to store it in a memory and transmitting a preparation completion signal to a host processor. SOLUTION: The recording surface of a magnetic recording disk 10 is divided into an area 10A including a special track on which a control program is to be recorded and an area 10B including data tracks which are to be accessed by ordinary read/write operations. The operation of the disk is started by using the control program stored in the ROM 16A being in a main control circuit MPU 16. There are a first intermediate rotational speed of 4500 rpm, a second intermediate rotational speed of 5400 rpm and a final rotational speed of 7200 rpm as rotational speeds of the disk. The remaining of the control program is recorded on the special track of the area 10A and it is down loaded in the RAM 17B of a memory 17.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the elementary cause of a thermal asperity by repeatingly perform a one directional seeking operation and eliminating a projected matter while actively bringing the surface of the structural body of a head into contact with the projected matter. SOLUTION: A head slider 20 is inclined with respect to the rotational direction of a disk by the air pressure accompanied by the revolution of the disk. The head slider 20 is brought into contact with the projected matter 52 on the disk 18 at the point of an ABS surface 44 nearest to the disk. Besides, for example, the number of loopings is defined to be two, seeking operations are completed when the loopings are repeated two times and a retry, that is, a rereading operation is executed to confirm whether a normal reading operation is performed or not. When the projected matter is eliminated by these seeking operations, since a read signal becomes normal and errors are recovered, this device can move to an ordinary reading or writing operation.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To shorten the write time of data or the read time of data. CONSTITUTION: The address of a file AAA which a host designates and an address on a disk 58 are correspondingly stored in a conversion table. A controller reads data based on the address on the disk, which corresponds to the designated address, and transfers it to the host when the address is designated from the host and receives a command for transferring AAA. When transferred AAA is recorded in physically discontinuous areas A and C in the disk 58, a file BBB recorded in an area B connected to the area A is recorded in a spare cylinder (a), data recorded in the area C is recorded in the area B (b) and the address on the disk in AAA is changed to the addresses of the areas A and B. BBB recorded in the spare cylinder is recorded in the area C (c) and the address on the disk in BBB is changed to the address of the area C.
