My question: Since the new installation of Calibre will create it's own library folder, how do I get Calibre to find the old library folder on the external hard drive
A new Calibre installation will ask you the first time it is run where the library should be. If you point it at the just copied library folder it will pick it up.

Alternatively you can use the Calibre function to switch libraries to pick it up at a later date.
