Move Calibre to new computer my library isn't showing.

I thought I had it right. I thought you've done it Vil. Spot on. No need for help now. You're the big Cheese!

However, I've got it wrong somewhere.

I've recently upgraded my computer, new hard drive, bigger graphics card, more memory etc. I took note of where my Calibre Library was and placed it in the same place on my new computer.

I install Calibre and it located the directory on install, however upon launching not one of my books are showing.

What did I do wrong?

That is something only you can answer. I can only guess that you got the path for the library wrong, or didn't update it in the new install.

It doesn't locate the directory, you have to tell it where the directory is. Read this section of the FAQ.
