Abstract
An apparatus for positioning a magnetic head includes a servo signal detection circuit for detecting a servo signal recorded on a magnetic disk in a predetermined first period, an acceleration measuring portion which is fitted to a part of a mechanism for mounting a magnetic head, outputs an acceleration signal in a direction of positioning the magnetic head, and samples the acceleration signal in a second period shorter than the first period, a comparison processing portion for comparing a deviation value computed from at least either one of the acceleration signal and the servo signal with a predetermined value, a write inhibit signal generating portion for generating a signal inhibiting write of data on a magnetic disk in accordance with the result of comparison in the comparison processing portion, and a manipulated variable compensation portion for generating manipulated variable for adjusting the position of the magnetic head from at least either one of the servo signal and the acceleration signal and a target value of the position of the magnetic head, whereby to prevent erroneous write operation of data onto a magnetic disk due to unsteady positioning error of the magnetic …
