ABSTRACT:
A disk cartridge includes a case accommodating a disk, a cover installed at the case to be capable of being open and shut and having a hole formed thereon to be open to an outside of the cover, a shutter installed under the disk in the case to be capable of moving to open and shut an opening formed on the case, and a clamping member installed at the cover to seal the hole to clamp the disk. Thus, since the clamping member blocks the hole of the cover connected to the outside of the cover, possibility of intrusion of dust into the disk cartridge is reduced. Also, since there is no need to install the clamping member at the disk drive, the disk drive can be made simplified and slim.
