Abstract
A disk drive particularly a disk drive into which a disk cartridge containing a magnetic disk as an information recording medium is loaded when used. A flexible printed circuit board mounting circuit parts for a spindle motor thereon is used as board and fixed to a back yoke, thereby constituting the spindle motor. A lower cover is provided with an opening, the flexible printed circuit board is interposed between a chassis and the lower cover, and the back yoke is assembled by being inserted into the opening of the lower cover. When the disk cartridge is inserted, it is obliquely inserted so that the disk cartridge will not strike against any magnetic heads.
