Thank you for the information.
I have been trying to do as you have advised but without success. I think I nearly understand what you are suggesting, let me add some detail and ask questions:
1 To copy the existing library from my old XP PC , I put a thumb drive in a USB port and "Copied" the library.
2. On the new Win 8.1 PC, I downloaded and installed Calibre as directed from the website, then I copied the library into a folder I created. Calibre is installed on the C\: drive, 250Gb SSD, whereas the library is installed on a 2nd seperate internal HD.
3. I opened Calibre and imported the library via "Get Books" instruction.
4. All the books appeared in the library and I could access them although as I said, the "Ratings" field did not show the single star I had added in the metadata to depict a book I had read.
"theducks" mentioned looking at Preferences:Look and Feel ( which I had never seen before ) . I noticed that the Ratings field was not "checked" , so I checked it, "applied" and had another look at the library display.............unfortunately no change.
Q: Have I transferred the originally library correctly?
Q: Have I imported the books correctly into the new installation?
I am not a real "wiz" with computers but understand a little, so please be gentle
Thanks
