How would I start again and put all my existing books back into the Calibre on my laptop? How would I go about putting my plug-ins back as well? I must have a Calibre folder somewhere that I need to import back into Calibre. Can somebody give me step-by-step instructions on how I do this?

Will the books go back in the same order on the laptop computer as on my desktop computer?

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Thanks

By lost, what do you mean? Do you mean you deleted them? Or it is that Calibre just doesn't know where they are?

The library could still be there on your laptop. Do a search for metadata.db and you may find it and then you can point Calibre at that directory.
