How do you add an already existing Calibre library? When I tried to add a small one, it said that the metadata was corrupted. Now the library (all the ebooks) were still there in perfect condition, but I had to add them to a newly created library. This takes some time. I have several large libraries to add and creating them new is going to take hours. Is there some step that I'm missing to add a library?

How did this happen? I dragged several libraries over to a portable hard drive and took them with me for the months that I had to take care of a relative with health problems. I spent lots of hours eliminating duplicates and formats that I don't want. So, now, these new libraries have changed. I want to put them back on my main computer. I have removed the old libraries (burned to disk and put away in case of errors).
