Another failure

I connected the external hard disk to my laptop (Win7) and tried to open the Calibre library created by standard Calibre installed on my XP desktop. I have a copy of the same library on the root of the disk, as a second folder under \Backups and as a third folder under \calibre\calibre portable. None are read only.
The Calibre portable returned error as described above, and when instructed to do the repair return with more errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line 125, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line 272, in replace_db
WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied

To repeat, the same portable Calibre can open those libraries with no errors when run from XP on my desktop.

I will try next to install standard Calibre onto this laptop and see if that can access those libraries.
