There is disclosed a head positioning control system including a feedforward (FF) control system to compensate a disturbance in a disk drive. This system includes an identification unit which executes parameter identification processing to determine a transfer function of the FF controller as well as a control operation. This identification unit updates a transfer characteristic of the FF controller so as to be adapted to a disturbance fluctuation.
