@BetterRed, @theducks and @kovidgoyal thank you for your responses.

Here is what I did today: I deleted the whole library. Then, went back to the old PC and used the Calibre Export to export the library into the external HDD. Then connected the external HDD to the new PC and started a Calibre Import from there. Everything went OK. But when I tried to modify a title I got the exact same error: "cover.jpg did not exist when this move operation was started"

Then I went on to try @BetterRed's idea. I uninstalled the 64 bit and installed they 32 bit version. And the error was still there:

Code:
calibre, version 3.8.0
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>ValueError</b>:The file u'C:\\Users\\erenc\\Documents\\Calibre\\<LibraryName>\\<Author>\\<Title> (Id)\\cover.jpg' did not exist when this move operation was started

I only see this error in this library. I have two other libraries located next to this one and the work fine.
