So my problem began when my storage hard drive, drive D:, started dying. I have my OS (Windows 7) and a few other programs on a SSD (C: ), but most of my other programs and files were on D:. I managed to save that info, but that wasn't the problem. I got a new hard drive to use for storage and named it G:. Since I didn't migrate any programs or anything, my computer still thinks some programs installed on D: are still installed on my computer. even though D: is completely gone. Calibre was one of them, but I went through the Control Panel and removed it from my system.

Now, however, when I try to install Calibre, it says it's computing the space requirements, then gives me a notice "Invalid drive: D:/" and ends the installation. I can't find any trace of Calibre left on my computer to remove, and the installer never gives me the option to install it in a different location. Anyone have any ideas on things to try? It's really frustrating because I want to add more books to my Nook and I don't want to go through the hassle of moving my library to a different program and whatnot (plus I just like Calibre).
