    Abstract: A method for dividing a data area on a disk into a plurality of concentric zones and determining a format for each zone so that data tracks in the zone have the same number of data sectors. The method includes dividing a data area into a plurality of zones with provisional boundaries. The method also includes determining a linear recording density for a selected zone. The method further includes selecting the number of data sectors per data track corresponding to the determined linear recording density from specified values. Moreover, the method includes resetting a boundary of the zone at a new boundary shifted from the provisional boundary according to a selected value.

    Abstract: In a magnetic recording system including magnetic recording media, a rotation driving unit for driving these magnetic recording media, read/write magnetic heads, driving apparatus for driving these read/write magnetic heads, and a read/write signal processing apparatus, a reading portion of the respective magnetic heads is arranged by a magnetoresistive head. The magnetic recording media are constructed of multi-layered magnetic media having a plurality of magnetic layers fabricated directly, or via underlayers on a non-magnetic disk substrate, and of non-magnetic intermediate layers arranged among these non-magnetic layers. Furthermore, one coercivity which is measured by applying a magnetic field along a circumferential direction of the magnetic recording media, is selected to be larger than the other coercivity which is measured by applying a magnetic field along a radial direction of the magnetic recording media, so that a higher signal-to-noise ratio is achieved, as compared with that of the conventional magnetic recording system. Since the thickness of the non-magnetic intermediate layers is smaller than or equal to 5 nm, and also the total layer is smaller than or equal to 5 nm, and also the total layer number of the plural magnetic layers is selected to be odd, better characteristics can be achieved. Accordingly, since the MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) is longer than or equal to 0.15 million hours with high recording density, and the disk substrate and the magnetic head sliders can be mounted at high packaging density, a compact and high-capacity magnetic recording system can be obtained.

    Abstract: A magnetic recording medium comprising a substrate and, formed thereon, a magnetic layer comprised of magnetic particles bonded to each other with a thermosetting binder can be improved with respect to the durability by forming a number of fine pores in the magnetic layer and impregnating the fine pores with a lubricant. Particularly, when the fine pores have a diameter of 0.2 .mu.m or less and a rate of the fine pore in area of 3 to 30%, the durability can be improved while maintaining the noise during the recording and reproduction of information on a low level. In preparing the magnetic recording medium having such fine pores, it is preferred that an easily thermal-decomposable additive, such as polyalkylene oxide, be added to a magnetic layer forming paint.A magnetic recording medium having further improved characteristics can be produced by interposing an undercoating layer having a number of fine pores between the magnetic layer and the substrate, allowing the fine pores in the undercoating layer to communicate with the fine pores with a lubricant. In this case, in forming the fine pores, it is preferable to add an easily thermal-decomposable additive to a paint or extract a thermoplastic resin from a layer containing the thermoplastic resin with a solvent.

    Abstract: A magnetic recording medium is prepared by applying a magnetic paint containing at least magnetic particles and a thermally curable binder to a substrate, thermally curing the applied magnetic paint, thereby forming a magnetic film, and impregnating micropores formed in the magnetic film with a lubricant, where the magnetic paint further contains a poly(alkyleneoxide)-grafted binder, and the grafted poly(alkyleneoxide) moiety is thermally decomposed during the thermal curing, thereby forming the micropores in the magnetic film. A large number of micropores having a pore size of not more than 0.1 .mu.m are formed in the magnetic film, and a magnetic disk of high durability with less noises and errors during the recording and reproduction can be obtained.
