A method of manufacturing a thin-film magnetic head includes the steps of: forming a first shield layer and a first portion of a second shield layer to be placed in one plane and insulated from each other; forming at least part of a thin-film coil on the first portion of the second shield layer such that the coil is insulated from the first portion; forming a first insulating layer on the first shield layer; forming a magnetoresistive element on the first insulating layer; forming a second insulating layer on the magnetoresistive element; forming a second portion of the second shield layer on the second insulating layer; forming a gap layer on the second portion of the second shield layer; and forming a second magnetic layer on the gap layer.</PTEXT>
