An information processing apparatus in accordance with the present invention includes a battery unit 4 detachable from a first casing 1 and capable of supplying electric power to the apparatus, an HDD 8 detachable from the first casing 1 and capable of recording and reproducing data to and from an information medium, and a cover plate 5 capable of covering the HDD 8, wherein the cover plate 5 is movable between an covering position in which the HDD 8 is covered and a releasable position in which the HDD 8 can be released, and the battery unit 4 holds the cover plate 5 in place so as to be located in the covering position when the battery unit is attached to the first casing 1. With this configuration, since the HDD cannot be detached unless the battery unit is detached beforehand, the HDD can be prevented from being damaged when it is removed.
