A magnetic recording disk has a textured test band (160) that is radially spaced from the textured landing zone (158) and that typically has laser-induced bumps with an average height substantially different from the average height of the laser-induced bumps in the textured landing zone. The bumps in both the test band and the textured band are formed in spiral tracks because the disk is simultaneously rotated and translated radially while the texturing laser is pulsing the disk. However, because the bumps in the textured band are not formed until after the average height of the bumps in the test band have been measured by a second analyzing laser, the two spiral tracks are separate and discontinuous.
