Abstract
A disk drive for recording data to and/or reproducing data from a disk includes a disk cassette guide and a slide plate. The disk cassette guide supports the disk during installation or removal of the disk to or from the disk drive. The slide plate has engage or upright portions which engage the disk cassette guide so as to move the disk cassette guide in response to the installation or the removal of the disk. The engage portions are disposed in concave portions formed at the side walls of the disk cassette guide. On each side of the disk drive, the outer surface of the side wall of the disk cassette guide is substantially coplanar with the outer surface of a side wall of the slide plate.
