A fastening structure of a disk drive having a pair of dovetail seat plates is mounted to the lateral edges of the disk drive. Each end of the plate is dovetail shaped and the center region of the plate is extended upward to form a fastening plate having an inverse 'L' shape. The end edge of the fastening plate is extended upward to form a press portion. The surface of the fastening plate is provided with a protruded strip. A disk drive securing support has two lateral sides for the mounting of disk drive. The inner wall of the lateral side has a dovetail groove of width corresponding to the dovetail seat plate. The lateral wall is provided with hole corresponding to the protruded strip. When mounting the disk drive, the dovetail seat plate is engaged into the dovetail groove of the disk drive securing support so as to cause the protruded strip to fasten with the hole, to complete the fastening of the disk drive. When the disk drive is to be disconnected, the fastening plate is pressed inward to cause the protruded strip to disengage from the hole so as to withdraw the disk drive.

A flexible grounding element comprises a rectangular base portion, and a pair of side portions extending obliquely and upward from the edges of the base portion. Each of the side portions includes a pair of slots at the intermediate portion of its edges. One of the side portions bends toward the other one of the side portions at the location adjacent to the slot to form a bend portion. The front end of the bend portion bends upward to form an end portion which contactably touches the inner side of the other side portion. As the side portions are being pressed, a portion of each side portion will pass through the hole of a mother board, and as the side portions are released, the slots thereof will urge against the inner rim of the hole to effect positioning. Furthermore, each corner of the base portion has a flexible plate which includes a protrusion at the bottom thereof. After the flexible grounding element has been inserted into the mother board, the base portion will urge against the surface of the base plate, thereby exerting a compressive force on the protrusions of the flexible plates. The flexible plates will be urged to bend upward and the resulted counter force will force the flexible grounding element to firmly engage between the mother board and base plate.
