That suggests to me that the disks 'index' was tampered with. And you you did something that 'untampered' it. If its an NTFS drive the index is known as the Master File Table (MFT), if its HFS+ I think it's known as the the Index.
My suspicion is that the Dual Boot configuration has something to do with it.
Run chkdsk and manufacturer tests on the drive, the latter can take a while - best run overnight.

Some of the 'ebook reader programs' incorporate rudimentary library facilities, e.g. ePubReader.
Curious, why do you need to run calibre library manager on Windows and OSX? Could you get away with using calibre server (read only) on OSX , and the library manager on Windows - or vice versa?
Do a backup toot sweet
