Abstract

According to one embodiment, servo patterns different in servo pattern frequency are recorded in zones divided in a radial direction on a magnetic disc, and the servo patterns in the adjacent zones overlap each other in a predetermined area from a zone servo boundary between the zones, and a determination boundary where it is determined to execute a crossing process is set within the overlapping area of the servo patterns upstream from the zone servo boundary, based on position information on a seek destination and the present position of the magnetic head.
