1) Remove any calibre environment variables

2) Remove the calibre configuration directory. Reboot your computer.

3) Copy your old library folder off the NAS and on to a local hard disk

4) Delete the metadata.db file from that folder, if it exists

5) Start calibre from the command prompt as

calibre.exe --with-library "C:/path/to/your/library folder/from/step/3"

6) You will get am empty library

7) Right click the calibre logo icon on the claibre toolbar and choose library maintenance->Rebuild database
