PURPOSE:To improve reliability by stopping a magnetic head on a magnetic head stopping area during the non-rotation of a magnetic disk, and prior to the start of the rotation of the magnetic head, moving the magnetic head to an information recording area or a contact start/stop (CSS) area to execute CSS. CONSTITUTION:The magnetic head 4 is stopped on the magnetic head stopping area with rough surface roughness on the magnetic disk 1 during the non- rotation of the magnetic disk 1, and prior to the start of the rotation of the magnetic disk 1, the magnetic disk 4 is moved to the information recording area 3 with small surface roughness and effective sliding characteristics. After ending said movement, the magnetic disk 1 starts to rotate, and when the disk 1 reaches a steady rotation, head 4 starts to write/read out information. Since the head 4 is stopped on the rough area, a sucking phenomenon is not generated during the non-rotation, and since the head 4 is moved to the area with small surface roughness and effective sliding characteristics, the floating characteristics of the head 4 can be improved at the time of executing CSS. |
