I am new to Calibre and have a similar problem, but with NO CLUE as to what the above means, much less where to type it. I had my new HD partitioned to add a D drive specifically for ebooks & related materials. But I now have so many books/items that I've filled the 30 gigs on that drive. I decided to attempt to either enlarge the drive or delete it and use just the C (IF I can understand the tech site's directions). I was removing files from D to prevent losing them but did it the "wrong" but easy way.. by copying folders from D to either C or flash drive (flash for books, music...). I moved Calibre from D to C also. Now the program can't find my library even tho it's there in 2 places as of now. Is there any way you can explain in easy layman's terms what I need to do to access my library in Calibre? I checked your help site and watched the videos (VERY helpful in other areas) & did not find what I need; and I'm not software literate enough to understand the directions you gave on this forum, but am so glad to have found it. (sorry to be so wordy, but needed to be sure you knew what I did and that I don't understand even the easy techie talk.) HELP!
p.s. I DO have ALL of the books in Calibre Library. However, I just found out about a new problem when trying to reinstall Calibre. It says the database is corrupt. I think it means my Calibre Library?
