A method and apparatus are disclosed which allow for compensation of repeatable runout in a disk drive when an actuator arm assembly has a relatively high friction to inertia ratio in a pivot bearing assembly. The compensation uses one of two initial runout coefficients, based on a seek length. If the seek length is shorter than a predetermined distance, a current runout coefficient is used to compensate for repeatable runout which is continuously updated throughout a previous seek operation. If the seek length is greater than the predetermined distance, a transient runout coefficient is used to compensate for repeatable runout which is updated following the initial revolutions of the hard disk.
