Hi. I am in trouble with my Library. For many years I have been using a Library on a removable disc (just because that is the way it was set up) but decided that was risky in the event that the disc failed.
So I copied the Library (named eB) on the disc to my desktop but a number of errors occurred so I decided to revert to the disc Library.
However now I cannot get Calibre to look at the disc for the Library.
I should add that the Library has a number of Folders, sorted by book type, eg Fiction, Autobiography etc, about 35 in total.
Should also add that I am a Mac user.
So what I would ideally like to do is to take the existing 35 Folders in my Library, transfer it to hard drive on the Macbook and have Calibre recognise and work with it.
Any advice please.
TIA Rusty
