A testing apparatus for a magnetic head or a magnetic disk, includes a magnetic disk; a magnetic head moving mechanism which holds a magnetic head and which moves the magnetic head to a predetermined position in a radial direction of the magnetic disk; a movement mechanism control device for driving the magnetic head moving mechanism, wherein the movement mechanism control device moves the magnetic head moving mechanism to a predetermined radial position corresponding to position data; a read/write control device for writing a predetermined magnetic signal on the magnetic disk using the magnetic head, and for reading a magnetic signal of the magnetic disk using the magnetic head; and a memory for storing therein position data embedded in a data surface of the magnetic disk, extracted from the magnetic signal which is read by the read/write control device. A testing method is also disclosed.
