Magnetic recording medium, recording/reproducing apparatus, and method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium

Abstract

On a magnetic recording medium, data track patterns and servo patterns are formed on one surface and another surface of a disk-shaped substrate by patterns including recording regions and non-recording regions. In the data track patterns on the one surface, the non-recording regions are formed at formation positions on the one surface corresponding to formation positions of recording regions in the data track patterns on the other surface and the recording regions are formed at formation positions on the one surface corresponding to formation positions of non-recording regions in the data track patterns on the other surface, and in the servo patterns on the one surface, the non-recording regions are formed at formation positions on the one surface corresponding to formation positions of recording regions in the servo patterns on the other surface and the recording regions are formed at formation positions on the one surface corresponding to formation positions of non-recording regions in the servo patterns on the other surface.
