Are you seeing an error message when you try to execute calibre-debug from the command line that looks like:

'D:\Calibre' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

This is due to CMD not being happy with a space in a command string; To get around this, as in @theducks example, wrap the command in "s.

I.e.

do not use D:\Calibre Portable\Calibre\calibre-debug -g

do use "D:\Calibre Portable\Calibre\calibre-debug" -g

See How to Escape Spaces in File Paths on the Windows Command Line for a bit of help.
