Okay, I am not sure exactly if this is the correct forum but it is a calibre related error more than it is a kindle one.

Whenever I connect my kindle (KT2 2014 Basic), to calibre, it will give me a driver error. Stating that my Kindle driver has an error and to fix it. I have tried the Windows' Driver tool and CMD but it fails all the time stating that whatever error I have, it is irreparable.

Now, I notice this error only happens if I have a calibre metadata or any calibre transferred files on my Kindle. I once deleted all of my ebooks and calibre metadata txt file. And once I do, the windows manages to fix whatever error the drive had.

My main issue is that as soon as I reconnect to calibre, kindle will start again with the driver issues. I could sometime transfers one book before it disconnects, demanding I fix the drive.

I am hoping that this less of a Kindle issue and more of a calibre bug that can be fixed. This happened only recently, so am unsure if I should roll back or if there's a solution to this.

So to sum it up:
1) Kindle shows driver error upon connection to Calibre.
2) CMD/Windows Drivers Could Not Fix Unless all of calibre data are purged.

Thank you in advance.
