On a disk-shaped substrate with pits and grooves, a first dielectric layer, a magnetic layer, and a second dielectric layer are formed. A data region used for recording/reproduction includes a plurality of tracks, and is divided into a plurality of segments. Each segment includes a pit region and a groove region. Recording/reproducing tracks are composed of the grooves. Magnetic anisotropy of a magnetic layer positioned on each of lands between the respective recording/reproducing tracks is reduced to a level lower than that of magnetic anisotropy of the magnetic layers positioned on the grooves, so that the recording/reproducing tracks are magnetically separated. On an inner side of an innermost recording/reproducing track and on an outer side of an outermost recording/reproducing track, at least one dummy track is provided, respectively.
