Abstract
A disk with a data, servo and isolation layer has been fabricated with the data layer magnetized along the circumferential direction. The se rvo layer was recorded with servo pattern magnetized along the radial direction. A continuous servo signal is obtained and the servo does no t occupy any data area. In this new method, the servo and data bits ca n share media surface area on the disk without interference. Track fol lowing on 0.7 mu m tracks has been demonstrated using the new servo me thod on longitudinal rigid disks.
