Failed to save: Beautiful Lies by Gina Whitney to disk, with error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\save.py", line 173, in do_one_write
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\save.py", line 216, in write_book
File "os.py", line 157, in makedirs
WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied: u'F:\\'

And it doesn't matter if its one book or a highlighted section. I still get the windowserror. I've used Calibre for quite some time and thought I was pretty knowledgeable about it but I am stumped. I did lose all of my books a few months ago when my laptop crashed. Bought a new one, found as many of my books from saved external harddrives, etc. I thought everything was good. Did I maybe tweak some setting that is preventing me from saving to disk? Any help would be so appreciated.
