While installing Calibre the first time I redirected the calibre ebook folder to my D drive because that is where I keep my documents. Not sure if that is what caused the problem but Calibre won't run. I am running on Windows XP on a fairly old PC.

During the initial setup (when you pick your device etc) I got the following error:

ERROR: Could not move library: table authors already exists
RemoteTraceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\library\sqlite.py", line 175, in run
OperationalError: table authors already exists

Traceback (most recent call last):

OperationalError: table authors already exists

When attempting to proceed past there it asks me to pick a directory. I have tried several different directories and all result in an error about a corrupt database:

Corrupted database: Your calibre database appears to be corrupted. Do you want calibre to try and repair it automatically? If you say No, a new empty calibre library will be created.

OperationalError: no such index: series_idx

From here I can select yes or no to repair the DB or create a new one. Either way results in an error. I either get:

ERROR: Repairing failed: The database repair failed. Starting with a new empty library.

or

I have uninstalled and re-installed several times with no luck. I am very interested in this software but I just can not seem to get it to work. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.
