A head slider has a medium-opposed surface defining first and second areas extending side by side from the inflow end to the outflow end. A head element is embedded in an insulating non-magnetic film. The head element at least locates a write gap in a first section defined in the insulating non-magnetic film in the first area. A first actuator is embedded in the insulating non-magnetic film in the first area. The first actuator causes the first section to protrude. A second actuator is embedded in the insulating non-magnetic film in the second area. The second actuator causes a second section of the insulating non-magnetic film to protrude. The second section is utilized in a so-called zero calibration. The first section and the head element are prevented from protruding during the zero calibration. This results in are liable avoidance of damage to the head element.
