Help! Calibre suddenly not detecting my Sony PRS-T1

[psylucus]

So I have been using Calibre 64bit in conjunction with my Sony PRS-T1 for a number of years now with absolutely NO problems. However I plugged my reader in today to load a couple of books and calibre will not detect it, have read through other threads here but have found no solution.

Here's what I have already tried:
Rebooted PC & Reader
Tried various USB cables
Updated Calibre to most recent version
Uninstalled all reader drivers and had them reinstall
Sony Device Interface plugin IS installed and enabled and device is NOT being ignored.

Not sure where to go from here.. The reader IS being detected by windows (is popping up with autoplay for a SETTING drive)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Maybe this debug file will help, from what I can understand Calibre is detecting the reader but not recognising it as a device:

One of those drives is your sony drive, it is either failing or you have mapped another drive like a network drive over it. Make sure you dont have any mapped drives and reboot both your computer and your sony.

Thanks kovidgoyal for the advice.

O:/ was actually the devices expansion slot and the device should have been N:/ (which was not listed at all in the dubug) somehow the drive mapping had completely disappeared but all fixed now.
