Did you run the calibre .msi and tell it to remove calibre if it was installed on drive C:? After that, did you run the calibre installer again, click on Accept and then Advanced and change the install location to D:\Program Files\Calibre2?

Please note that this will not automagically move your calibre library/libraries to D: and the preferences will remain in your user directory on drive C.

Once calibre comes up happily running from drive D:, close it, and move to copying your calibre libraries to the D: drive if they aren't already there. If they are, skip the next paragraphs.

Say you have two libraries, one called calibre library which was located at C:\Users\YourName\calibre\calibre library and another called Intake which was located at C:\Users\YourName\calibre\Intake, copy the entire calibre directory to the root of the D: drive, then rename the original on C: to calibre.old.

Open calibre and use the Switch/create library option making sure that Use the previously existing library at a new location radio button is selected. Browse to D:\calibre\calibre library (use the folder icon at the end of the New Location line) and add it as a previously existing library at a new location, repeat for D:\calibre\Intake and bob's your uncle.

Given that the calibre2 directory takes less than 400MB, I'd be more concerned with moving your libraries to the D: drive.
