The way you state that makes me think it didn't work. Is that right? With the User Defined driver, it doesn't access the database on the device, so there shouldn't have been an error like this. The driver will scan the drive looking for books. If you did get the above error, then you need to disable the KoboTouch driver and try again.
Well, interesting as I thought I had removed the Kobotouch Extended plugin and then connected with the User defined driver (and go that error message) - so I coudn't have disabled the kobo driver driver properly as the database connected in some manner - please excuse my ignorance as I am not sure why this has happened.
Incidentally once I get this error message the laptop's USB port becomes unusable for anything and I have to re-initialise it with a laptop reboot
I do have an old Lenovo laptop so will do some testing with that as soon as I have time next week (that is to be the next step to be honest if nothing obvious transpires from this conversation).
I will also install a SQLLite management tool to check the database - I like your idea the HP is corrupting the database.....Best I do some more testing and will add back to this thread, really appreciate the time you took to answer - Thanks.
