Thank you in advance for you help.
If you export the library from your old computer, it'll export the library in ~1GB chunks. If you copy all those chunks over to the destination computer, you should be able to restore your library.

If you have your working libraries on the flash drives, you could mount those libraries on your new computer and copy them into a library on that computer.

Now if you were using calibre portable, that may be an issue though I think you could still mount that library on your new computer and copy the contents over.

Hurricane Harvey??? Wasn't that back in the summer of 2017?
