Abstract:
A method of writing a tracking servo signal pattern for a magnetic disc device, which device records and reproduces information with a magnetic head unit, and which device reproduces at least two burst signals out of first, second, third and fourth burst signals recorded as tracking servo signals, and which device also records and reproduces the information, said method comprising:recording the first burst signal and second burst signal on the magnetic disk; reproducing the first burst signal and second burst signal by the magnetic head unit of the magnetic disc device; controlling a position of the magnetic head unit under control of the magnetic disk device such that a ratio in level between said first tracking servo signal and said second tracking servo signal reproduced by the magnetic head unit of the magnetic disc device are substantially equal to a predetermined value; recording the third burst signal and fourth burst signal by the magnetic head unit of the magnetic disc device; recording a third burst signal pattern and a fourth burst signal pattern respectively in a width equal to or greater than a predetermined recording width when recording said first burst signal and said second burst signal; reproducing said first burst signal and said second burst signal with said magnetic head unit of the magnetic disc device per se; and controlling a position of said magnetic head unit under control of said magnetic disc device such that a ratio in level between said reproduced first burst signal and second burst signal becomes equal to a predetermined proportion, recording said third burst signal and said fourth burst signal of the predetermined recording width by erasing portions of said third burst signal pattern and said fourth burst signal pattern.
