I was recently working on a Calibre Portable Version on my external hard disk, the hard disk cable was disconnected while working on Calibre.

The next time I opened Calibre, this error shows up on startup:

calibre, version 1.34.0
تلف قاعدة البيانات: The library database at G:\Calibre Portable extra\Calibre Library extra appears to be corrupted. Do you want calibre to try and rebuild it automatically? The rebuild may not be completely successful. If you say No, a new empty calibre library will be created.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 249, in initialize_db

CorruptError: CorruptError: database disk image is malformed


I tried restoring but I get this error after 2 hours:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line 125, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line 277, in replace_db
WindowsError: [Error32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

Any help with this ?
I have been working on this library for 2 years now and a lot of books, around 6000+
I really cannot afford to re-enter all this data.
