Most of the time when someone says, "I'll explain a bit more" it goes from bad to worse. But your explanation did no harm. It was the first to mention you were still having problems. It was 53 days between your original request for help and your response, freaking over your pet peeve.

I do not believe that the db file is corrupt, as I have several backups of it, and it does it with all of them. If I go back to version 0.6.16 everything works fine. I've also tried installing the new version of calibre on 2 other different computers that never had calibre installed on them previously, and I get that same error. So from the looks of it, it seems that either something with or previous versions before 0.6.16 have modified the database and the new version isn't able to convert it, or there is some type of bug in database conversion routine. I know that people have responded and have had no problems with their upgrades, so it's a little hard to tell what the actual problem is.

Your right the vast majority uninstalled 0.6.16 prior to attempting 0.6.17 and didn't have a problem. I have no insight into this error, hopefully someone will have some idea of how to fix it.

Calibre does work if I point it towards a new directory, however I have over 600 books in my library, and I really don't want to edit them all again, I had to manually add in stuff so it would look the way I wanted it to. If I create a new library, and tell it to add all the books from the old library, it adds them, but alot of the metadata is missing. I imagine that the metadata is stored in the db and not actually tagged on the ebooks.

If 0.6.16 has an adequate
Save to Disk function I would suggest you follow my backup #2 plan outlined in
this post.
Good Luck.
