Data recording and reproducing device, data recording and reproducing method, and recording medium

摘要

A position control area ( 76 A) is partly formed in the recording area ( 75 ) of a recording medium ( 70 ) and position information is recorded only in the position control area ( 76 A). To record data in the recording medium ( 70 ) by a head ( 60 ) having a plurality of cantilevers ( 62 A), ( 62 B), . . . , the position information is read by the cantilever ( 62 E) corresponding to the position control area ( 76 A) and, based on the position information, the positioning control or moving control of all the other cantilevers is performed.
