A disc drive includes a main body, a disc tray movable with respect to the main body between a loading position for loading an optical disc and an eject position, and a chassis on which a rotational drive mechanism for rotating a loaded optical disc is provided. The chassis is pivotally provided with respect to the main body about a pivotal axis near the rear end of the chassis so that the front end thereof can be displaced between a lowered position when the disc tray is ejected and a raised position for placing the optical disc on the rotational drive mechanism when rotating the optical disc. The disc drive prevents the chassis and/or the optical disc rotational drive mechanism from interfering or colliding with other elements of the disc drive.
