Calibre 3.20 stopped working after I tried to save a title after editing its metadata. After rebooting Calibre, I was told there was a DB error which Calibre would try to fix. The restoration failed and I got this error message.

calibre, version 3.20.0
ERROR: Failed to repair library: Restoring database failed, click Show details to see details

It reports a disk IOError but the disk is fine and the titles contained within the Calibre library are readable by ADE. Any ideas? BTW, I am running Win 10 Pro on a Dell PC.
