Wouw,
That found a ton of books and authors it had as files but not in the library. Going to tel calibre to fix that.
Any idea why it lost those books?

Something is scribbling over your metadata.db file. I have no idea what, except that it isn't calibre. What plugins do you use/have installed? Do you ever use the command line? Do you ever do anything to the database outside of calibre such as run programs to analyse/fix up the database?
Have you verified that the disc holding the calibre library has a healthy file system?

Ok The Library check -- problems found screen appears
It has a long list of books that seem not to be added to the library but for with it did find files in the directory.
At the bottom it has a few buttons one delete marked and one of them is Fix marked.
Only the delete option works the fix one stays grayed out. As I don't want to throw these books away I'm not going to delete them anyone know why the fix option is grayed out?

That function will never add books back to the database, which is why "Fix" is greyed out. The books must be manually added. The best way to do this is to move the "title" directory (the one containing cover.jpg, metadata.opf, and the format files) out of calibre's library to some other directory then tell calibre to add books from that directory using the "recursive, one book per directory" option.
