Moving The Library Files

I had spent several days working on my library and had copied it to an external drive in anticipation of a new computer. I called the file Calibre Library.

The new computer was set up (old Vista, new Windows 7), and Calibre duly installed. On the preference (and set up wizard) I entered the path to the Library and nothing happened! I have now resorted to having to re-enter each book file seperately and re-do all the metafile downloads. So far I have only managed 150 books.

Yesterday the program (Calibre) kept 'not responding' and I had to stop what I was doing. It now seems to be ok today. I decided to load the 150 files onto my Sony Touch. This worked except the book covers did not get put on the reader.

Whilst typing this a thought did enter my mind - the drive letter of my external drive changed between the 2 computers, could that be the problem? I am using the new drive letter?

My other problem seems to have been covered elsewhere, I had been going to ask if I could install 2 calibre programs to to run 2 seperate libraries.

Any help would be most appreciated.
