ABSTRACT:
In a floppy disk drive, a disk driving mechanism is controlled by a disk drive controller so as to rotate a floppy disk for a predetermined time when the floppy disk is loaded into the disk drive. Thereby, dust adhering to the surface of the floppy disk can be removed with a cleaning liner in a cartridge containing the floppy disk. In addition, a magnetic head is brought into contact with a storage medium being stopped by the disk drive controller after dust adhering to the surface of the storage medium has been removed.
