Abstract
A magnetic recording system high in S/N and low in bit error rate, capable of carrying out writing and reading of high recording density of at least 1 gigabit per 1 square inch and high in reliability can be realized by making the magnetic layer of the magnetic recording medium from a mixture comprising at least one non-magnetic compound selected from the group consisting of oxides and nitrides and a magnetic material comprising Co and Pt as main components and specifying the molar ratio of Pt to Co in the magnetic layer, and employing a magnetoresistive read back magnetic recording head.
