I've reinstalled Calibre and now I need to point Calibre to the folders where the books are but I can't remember how to do it. Everything I've tried wants to create a new empty library or import a library etc. I just want to point Calibre to the folder where the files are if possible. I have two libraries so the structure is
C:\Books\Mine
C:\Books\Hers
I thought I could point Calibre to the Books folder and it would see the libraries.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

You will need to click on the Library icon and select switch/create library. Select Use the previously existing library at the new location, browse to the library folder (Mine or Hers) and click OK.
Note that this will only work if these are calibre library folders. Easy way to tell is if in the the root of the folder, you see a metadata.db file.
