A magnetic disk drive has a problem in that when a shock in excess of a force used to fasten a spindle shaft to a cover is applied, the spindle shaft becomes inclined. Embodiments of the invention overcome this problem. In one embodiment, a cover is formed with a recessed portion at a location opposite to a spindle shaft. The recessed portion is formed with a projection having an end to be in contact with an inclined portion of a tapped hole of the spindle shaft. Thus, a "plug-like" structure is formed. Preferably, a gap between the cover and the spindle shaft is not present. With this structure, even if the shock is applied from outside, the projection of the cover acts as a stopper to suppress a displacement between the spindle shaft and the cover, thus preventing inclination of the spindle shaft.
