Calibre Book Viewer

mitch13 · 01-02-2016, 11:15 PM

In the last few days I have a problem with Calibre when I try to view a book/magazine. Via Calibre I auto download through 'Fetch News' an Autosport news clip. When I try to view I get an error: "There is no disk in the drive. Please Insert a disk into the drive I:"
There is no disk 'I' connected or needed, Calibre running from Drive F.
This happens with anther Fetch News item that I get so not just Autosport.
I ran Calibre in debug mode and had the following log:
"calibre Debug log

I also attach a Word file of Windows Task Manager.

Any suggestions?

Is it only when trying to view this particular book or all books. If the former then open a bug report and attach the book file.

It is happening with all books at the moment.

Just reinstalled version 2.48 again and now is allowing viewer. Strange - did this a couple of days ago but then problem returned.

First time Calibre loaded today problem has returned.

A Frustrating problem!

That error message does not come from calibre. Some system component is trying to load something from drive I. Or you have registry corruption of some kind.

Thanks Kovid.
I have been away and using my laptop instead of my home PC. Viewer works fine on laptop so it is a Windows or Registry problem. Guess I will have to spend a lot of time trying to find a solution unless I choose the easier option and go back to an earlier System Restore.

From my experience its more of an issue with removable devices and certain Windows API calls. I've seen the same issue with Kobo Desktop intermittently giving the same error against a multiple format USB attached memory card reader on my PC. At times Kobo Desktop puts up the exact same error but only against one of the 4 devices the reader supports.

Hi PeterT
I had moved back to a restored version of my system to a time that was before my problems. Still same problem.
Your suggestion seems to have cured it - I was using a card reader with 3 USB ports. I pulled this out and connected my Calibre database directly to a USB port. Now View is working again with mobi files!!

Thank you very much for that suggestion. The Card Reader combined USB works fine on my laptop but not on my main PC.
