A disk calibration method in a disk drive is provided. The disk calibration method includes the steps of: (a) jumping a pickup reading out data stored in tracks of a disk, across the tracks; (b) counting the number of tracks detected during the jumping of the pickup; (c) calculating a unit track number of the disk per a single movement of a driving device for jumping the pickup and calculating an average pitch between the tracks in accordance with the calculated unit track number; and (d) determining a moving amount of the driving device to jump the pickup from a current position to a target track. Since the track number of the disk inserted into the disk drive is adjusted at the initial state in accordance with the number of pulses generated from the frequency generator, thereby improving accuracy in the disk calibration . Also, the error generated during the searching operation of the pickup is compensated through a simple process. Furthermore, since less internal memory is used for performing the above calibration process, the memory efficiency is increased. <IMAGE> |
