Abstract

In a disc storage unit capable of writing a servo signal for positioning a recording head at each track defined on a disc-shaped recording medium, data in a region between adjacent tracks are erased prior to the writing of the servo signal. The data stored on the recording medium are completely erased and then the servo signal can be written in the recording medium.
