A disk drive for implementing a head switch operation is disclosed. The disk drive comprises: an actuator; a first head and a second head attached to the actuator; a disk having a plurality of tracks; and a processor. The processor controls operations in the disk drive including: executing a head switch command from the first head to the second head; determining that a sync-up operation is not successful for the second head at a first track; applying a torque to the actuator to move the second head to a second track; and determining that the sync-up operation is successful.
