3) continue and create a new database in the default location (the current option)

It took me a minute to figure out what had happened when my 'event' happened, with a tiny bit of panic involved. Once the problem is determined, sure it's an easy fix, but I'm thinking it would be nice to avoid those moments completely in the future.

Not something that will stress me out now, but perhaps something to consider for the future...
I realize that Calibre can not always know what kind of device the Library is stored upon (re: item 2).
Having a "What to do" option, sort of like a reverse of what Windows (gasp) auto-play does when a removable media is inserted. An "Always Ask" for the folk that run multiple libraries
