Abstract
In a method of mounting a drive motor to a frame member included in a disk drive which is for driving a flexible disk, the frame member is formed to have a main frame portion and a motor frame portion integrally formed to the main frame portion. The main frame portion defines a position of the flexible disk in the disk drive. Use is made of a jig adapted to engage with the main frame portion and a bearing portion provided to a stator of the drive motor. On positioning the stator relative to the motor frame portion, the jig is engaged with the main frame portion and the bearing portion. Under this state, the stator is fixed to the motor frame portion. After that, the bearing portion rotatably supports a rotation shaft coupled to a rotor of the drive motor.
