ABSTRACT:
A disk drive apparatus according to this invention is arranged to record or reproduce information on or from a disk, which serves as a recording medium, by moving a head thereon in a predetermined direction while rotating the disk. The disk drive apparatus includes, in one preferred form, an operating member turnably supported on a base, and a holder for holding the disk within the disk drive apparatus in such a manner as to cause the disk to selectively move to a first location where the disk can be inserted or ejected and to a second location where information can be recorded or reproduced on or from the disk. The holder is arranged to move with the insertion of the disk in an inserting direction of the disk, while the operating member turns in a predetermined direction in association with the holder moving in the inserting direction of the disk. When the holder turns through a predetermined angle, the holder reaches the second location.
