I can see that there is a flag near the step-motor which probably tells the drive that it has reached track 1 (?). But what happens if you reassemble the disk with this stepping motor in the wrong position? Will it be able to find out for itself how many steps it needs to go to go back to the original position?
The drive should have a home switch so when you switch it on it homes and then it doesn't matter because it knows that's origin, same thing with a cd laser.
