A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk including a plurality of servo
tracks defined by a plurality of servo sectors, wherein each servo sector
comprises a plurality of servo bursts. The disk drive further comprises a
head actuated over the disk. A servo sector is read to generate a read
signal which is processed to demodulate the servo bursts into a position
error signal (PES) representing an offset of the head from a target
radial location on the disk. The read signal is also processed to decode
the servo bursts into a Gray codeword representing at least part of a
servo track address, wherein the servo track address represents a servo
track the head is over.
