An information storage device includes an information recording medium, at least a single light source that emits laser light, an illuminating unit that illuminates substantially the same position of the information recording medium with two light rays generated from the laser light, in different directions, a light detecting unit that detects reflection light of the two light rays reflected from the information recording medium and outputs a detection signal, an operation unit that calculates position error information of the information recording medium based on the detection signal; and, a driving device that changes the position of the information recording medium based on the position error information.
