A disk drive having a body including: a spindle motor for rotating a disk;
a pickup unit for accessing the disk; a tray for accommodating the disk,
which retracts and extends from the body; and a front panel assembly
mounted on the body, which allows the tray to retract and extend. The
front panel assembly has a front panel with an entrance, through which
the tray retracts and extends, a door rotationally assembled with the
front panel to open and close the entrance in connection with movements
of the tray, an elastic member that provides an elastic force to the door
in the direction of closing the entrance, a door locking apparatus that
selectively allows and prevents the rotation of the door in connection
with the movements of the tray. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent
the door from opening while the tray is in a retracted state.
