I just finished trying to move all of my files from my old computer running Vista to a new one with Windows 8. I used the Microsoft Easy Transfer program via cable to move it. It moved everything EXCEPT my Calibre library! The library is the first folder under my user name on the C drive. When I go to "Advanced" to customize the move it won't let me select the Calibre folder. Apparently it needs to be under documents to be moved. The current location was the default setting when I first installed Windows.

Does anyone have a suggestion? The library is almost 30gigs. Should I try copying it to Documents on my old computer & try moving it that way? Help!!
