In a magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus, a flexible storage disk is rotated within a disk cartridge to move successive radial portions of the disk over an opening in the cartridge. The opening is disposed to provide limited radial access to the disk. A head-to-disk stabilizing assembly seals the opening, preferably at the exterior of the cartridge, to cause the formation of a Bernoulli pull down force on successive radial portions of the disk as each portion is rotated over the opening. Such pull down force momentarily deflects each portion of the rotated disk toward the opening, causing a deflected portion of the disk to remain substantially in contact with a magnetic recording or reproducing head movable along the opening, and thereby ensuring a stable head-to-disk relation.
