Hi
I hadn't used Calibre for a while and when I started it up it updated to the latest version and to my horror the database is blank. I didnt realise this was due to a previous change of drive letter so Calibre couldnt find the DB. So I tried importing all my books from the location on the HD and after completedion reaslised whilst the metadata was imported the books themselves were not.
I am now lost as to how to proceed. I've tried again and again importing the books to Calibre but each time many dont get imported, only the metadata and covers.
I found the previous DB and tried to import that but it doesnt import anything?
Hope someone can help.
