A holder holds a disk, and two reversely moving members, being engaged with the holder, either lower or lift the holder as a result of being moved along reverse directions respectively. A linking member links the two reversely moving members, the linking member being rotatably supported on the holder. Each of the two reversely moving members has a guide groove inclined along a direction reverse of another direction along which a guide groove of the other one is inclined. A driving unit performs information recording/reproducing operations on a recording medium disk contained in a cartridge. A cover unit covers the driving unit for preventing dirt/dust from entering the driving unit. A shutter unit is provided at a cartridge inserting position of the cover unit, the shutter unit being opened and closed appropriately in response to cartridge insertion. The cover unit is provided in an enclosure frame of the disk device. Resilient members are provided between the cover unit and enclosure frame.
