Abstract
An information processor includes a rotating magnetic disk that stores therein data, an accessing unit that accesses the magnetic disk, a detecting unit that detects an abnormal state. The abnormal state is a state that a user takes an action that may cause the magnetic disk to vibrate. The information processor further includes a control unit that terminates an access to the magnetic disk and stops rotation of the magnetic disk when the detecting unit detects the abnormal state, and an output unit that outputs a request for the action after the control unit has stopped the access and the rotation.
