Can't find library

Hi!

I have a Kindle 3 and use Calibre for e-book management. I have the icon for Calibre on the desk top (correct word? I mean the background on the computer screen), but I keep my library on a portable hard drive that is not plugged into the computer other then when I need to access the files on it.

Whenever I want to start Calibre I get a message that it can't find the library, and for me to choose where I want to place the new library. When I choose the location on the portable hd where my library is located my library pops up in Calibre. Is it normal to have to connect Calibre with the library manually each time I want to use it? The program starts just fine anyway, it just can't find the library, and yes, I make sure that the portable hd is connected to the computer before I start Calibre....

As you can see from my question, computers aren't my forte, and English is my second language so I would appreciate if you can help me in rather simple language...

Thanks!
