A head position control device uses a current observer control which
performs two degree of freedom control, with which a current step
difference due to the difference of eccentricities between heads is
prevented without affecting the seek waveform after switching heads. The
head position control device has a locus generation section, which
calculates an initial value of the correction locus for canceling the
current step difference of the output current based on an output current
supplied to an actuator before switching, and an eccentricity correction
current and initial velocity of another head after switching; and a two
degree of freedom control system to which a seek locus is input, and
supplies a correction locus according to the initial value to the two
degree of freedom control system. One parameter can correct the initial
velocity and the current step difference.
