For some reason, I still can't get calibre to recognize the location of my large calibre library.

A few months ago, I created two calibre libraries - one as a kind of test. This test library (titled 'calibre Library') shows the correct 2 titles. I'm having no problems with that library.

However, with my problem yesterday, my main library of over 5,000 titles is not being recognized. This library (titled 'Nook Calibre Library') also resides in the 'Documents' folder just like the test library mentioned in the paragraph above. (One thing, though: apparently, this folder is inside another folder - one with the exact same name. Don't ask me how that happened, because I have no idea. Anyway, to test whether I could get this large library recognized, I took out one author's folder and copied it OUTSIDE of the double nested folder. This test did not work and this author is not recognized.)

If I do a system restore, will that result in a putting my calibre library back to the way it was?

OR, if I simply copy all these author folders into the test library (remember, the one with two authors, the one that seems to be Ok), will my metadata be compromised?

Any suggestions for a solution would be helpful. But....I'm still wondering why calibre is not recognizing my large library.
