Abstract

See full text

According to one embodiment, there is provided a method for generating address data. The method generates a first code corresponding to a cylinder number. The cylinder number is divided and recorded on servo sectors in association with an identification of a cylinder on a disk. The first code is formed of some codes obtained by dividing the cylinder number based on a number of each of the servo sectors. The method generates a second code corresponding to address data for each of the servo sectors, by encoding the first code based on the servo sector number and a servo format number. The servo format number is used to identify a format of each of the servo sectors.
