Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for reducing adjacent track erasure from write retry operations. In certain embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a circuit configured to abort a write operation while writing to a selected sector of a disc storage medium during a first revolution of the disc storage medium, and mark the selected sector as a temporary bad sector in a mapping table. The circuit may perform a write retry to continue the write operation starting at a next sector contiguously following the selected sector, without attempting to write the selected sector again, during a second revolution of the magnetic disc.
