BUT
I cannot change anything on D using Calibre.
I also run Foxit Reader for PDFs. If a PDF is on the D Drive, I can't save edits (such as adding bookmarks.) I can make a copy of the same PDF, move it to the C drive and save edits.
I ran Libre Office Writer, and cannot save to the D Drive.
In all cases I get this General Input/Output Error msg.
Some crapola related to Win10 is not allowing certain programs (including Calibre) to write to the D Drive.
It is not the drive. Chkdsk reports no errors. What can be causing this issue?

Check the permissions for drive D:. Also try running Calibre as administrator and see if that works. If Calibre works when run as administrator, then it is the permissions that need fixing.
