Embodiments of the invention provide a servo information write method that makes it possible to properly locate the last-written servo information even when old servo information is overwritten by new servo information. In one embodiment, a servo track writer controller, which is within a servo track writer, reads a serial number (S/N) from a HDD (step 101), and acquires a magnetic disk drive servo information write count (P-ID) from a manufacturing process host (step 102). The next step (step 103) is then performed to control a positioner and a read/write channel so as to start writing servo information onto a magnetic disk. Servo information is sequentially written until the last track is written into (step 104). When the Nth servo information is to be written, a P-ID (N) is written subsequently to a burst signal (step 105). When the last track is written into in step 104, step 106 is performed to notify the manufacturing process host that the Nth servo information write is performed. Then, the servo information write process ends.
