All worked perfectly so I guess either the HDD is dodgy, or a little 2.5" portable HDD just can't run a library of 10k plus books...

Anyway, thanks for your help and for making such a great program.
USB HD are fine. If yours has a second USB plug, be sure it is connected as well.
You may need to use a POWERED USB Hub to get the extra ports AND enough power.
Be sure to exit Calibre, then wait for the activity LED on the drive to stop blinking (the buffer may be flushing) before shutting down.
