Okay, I tried that, but it didn't work. Same error. I think the most confusing thing is that it looks like Calibre is complaining it can't access the file because it's in use by Calibre.

On the theory that the issue is the fact that it's Calibre Portable, I tried downloading the latest direct install and used that. Same result again. I figure I'll try the direct installed version in Safe Mode tonight and see what happens, but I don't have much hope for it. It takes hours, since it's a huge library (there are over 7000 authors, most of whom have more than one work) so I leave it running when I go to bed.

The only other factor I can think of is the fact that it's an external hard drive, but this library is almost 9.5 GB. Copying it to the desktop would take a while. I'll probably try that tomorrow night, unless you have a better suggestion.

I'm pretty sure I could reconstruct it by drag-and-drop with the opf files, but that's going to be horrifically tedious with the sheer quantity.
