Random Error in my Calibre...
I am running Calibre 0.8.69 came home from work the other day to this error and am getting the following error on every book i try to add no matter what format it is in. I have tried deleting installation, all folders anywhere on my computer related to calibre/calibre2, reinstalled and still cant add them. I also have 19,240 books in my calibre library if that helps any, and I have about another 2000 to add but it wont let me.

Error:
Hellraiser 17.cbz
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\add.py", line 127, in start
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\add.py", line 217, in add

That's an error trying to create a directory. You have some filesystem issues on F: drive. Google error code 82 you might get some help.

This is a problem with your drive or file system. This error has nothing to do with calibre. Try backing up your drive, reformatting your drive and then restore the library. This may work, good luck.

Update: Google searches here, here.

Googling in 'windows error 82' does give info, although it isn't all that much help. It's just a generic 'Sorry, can 't do that'-error ('ERROR_CANNOT_MAKE: The directory or file cannot be created'). One reason could be that you're trying to create more directory entries than a FAT root dir can hold, but that's not what happens in your case.

I suggest running a file system check on your drive F:.

That's fine I was just curious.

Backup, format, reinstall is my only advice.

Can you manually create directories / files on that drive?

Your drive may be giving you warnings of upcoming failure Get a S.M.A.R.T. readout utility and query the drive.
Or
Since this appears to be an External drive: Power (sustained usage) issues.
Is it powered ONLY from the USB? Or does it have its own (wall) power cord?
