If all of the books are still in their directories you can restore the metadata.db file via the restore database feature, see attached.

Quote:
[From the manual]All the metadata is stored in a single file called metadata.db, in the top level folder. If this file gets corrupted (or deleted), you may see an empty list of books in calibre. In this case you can ask calibre to restore your books by clicking the arrow next to the calibre icon on the toolbar and selecting Library Maintenance->Restore Library.
Bold words above, my words added for clarity.
