What trick are you using to do that? As far as Windows or any Linux box I have used is concerned, the computer sees the SD card as an SD card. Calibre won't do anything with it. It just sees a card and needs to be told what it is. And of course, Windows does not like removable media with multiple partitions, so it will complain.


@fedex-bermu: What you do depends on the state of the device. If it is starting, reaches the home screen and responding to input, you might be able to do things based on that. Your screenshot suggests that the screen is updating. And the bottom-left quarter suggests that it is recognising the computer. But, the cracks might mean the touch is not working. The "Connect" button is there, so if touch is working, it should connect to the PC.

If the touch is not working, you could try some of what @LinuxArie suggested. Take the card out and put it in the computer. Then you can backup what you can see. Or you could edit the config file and add the auto connect USB line and put the card back in the device. After that, it might connect when you plug the device in.
