The opening portion of the disk cartridge is provided in the disk cartridge main body and is closed by a shutter arranged at the disk cartridge main body. The disk holder includes a disk holding member holding the recording medium so that when the disk holder is mounted to the disk cartridge main body, the disk holding member releases holding of the recording medium. When the disk holder is detached from the disk cartridge main body, the disk holding member holds the disk-shaped recording medium and is detached from the disk cartridge main body along with the disk-shaped recording medium.
