A mounting apparatus for retaining a data storage device (60) in a computer includes a bracket (10) and a driving member (30). The data storage device defines a locking hole (63) therein. The bracket includes a first side panel (12) and a second side panel (11) for mounting the data storage device therebetween. A resilient retaining member (126) is formed at the first side panel (12). A retaining tab (1264) is formed on a free end of the retaining member corresponding to the locking hole of the data storage device. The driving member is pivotably attached on the first side panel. An actuating portion (373) is formed on the driving member for urging movement of the retaining member.
