Abstract

Embodiments of the invention shorten a work time required for peeling off a cover seal during rework. In one embodiment, a magnetic disk drive includes: a base provided with a bonded surface around an opening edge and containing therein a head driving mechanism and a magnetic disk; a top cover to be fitted to the opening edge so as to be fixed to the base; and a cover seal including a liner disposed at an outside surface of the top cover, a sheet-like structure and an adhesive layer formed on the structure, the adhesive layer being laminated in such a manner as to face to the bonded surface and the outside surface of the top cover, at which the liner is disposed, to be thus fixed to the base.
