An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for accessing discontinuous media
tracks. The apparatus, in one embodiment, accesses discontinuous media tracks of
a storage medium having one or more independently formed storage regions thereon.
Each storage region may include a set of track segments. A memory may be provided
to store track offset information for each storage region. A mapping module may
collect track offset information, calculate a physical offset between adjacent
storage regions, define a track, create a table, and store the track offset information
in the memory. The apparatus may further include a tracking module to sense a position
of a head relative to a centerline of a track segment within a current storage
region, access offset information, and align a storage head with a closely aligned
track segment within a subsequent storage region. Consequently, discontinuous media
tracks may be accessed by a storage access device.
