A manufacturing method of a magnetic recording medium, and the like are provided, which can suppress misalignment of a processed shape of divided recording elements and magnetic degradation and can efficiently manufacture a magnetic recording medium having good magnetic characteristics. In the manufacturing method, ion beam etching is used as a dry etching technique for a continuous recording layer 20 . Before dry etching of the continuous recording layer 20 , a resist layer 26 is removed. As the material for a first mask layer covering the continuous recording layer, diamond like carbon is used.
