Or should I install the older version in another directory of my HD and start over again?

wolfskies - assuming the library on your Win 7 System is in reasonable shape, try this:
- Put calibre portable version 1.48 (CP1.48) on the portable hard disk (if its not already there)
- Start it up on your Win 7 system,
- Use the Switch/create library dialogue to access the library on your Win 7 systems hard disk
- if it works (it should) and it's OK for you speed wise and functionally, then
.- close CP1.48
- copy that library to the portable drive with a name that won't overwrite the existing library - you should have something like this
- start CP1.48,
- use Switch/create library to access the 'New Library' on the portable drive.
- make sure it works OK
- take the portable drive to work and check it out
