False Value Errors After Database Restoration - Need Expert Help!
Hey everyone, I really need your help.
My laptop died recently, but luckily, I had backups of almost everything. Now I have to re-set up my library, and it’s proving to be a real pain. The import seemed fine at first, but soon after, several files turned out to be duplicates. I'm glad I added them, because half of the duplicate files had a false value error. I used search to remove the corrupted files, but now every single file in my library is giving me the same false value error. Does anyone know what I did wrong? Initially, I thought the data on my external hard drive might be corrupted, but 50% of the files worked, at least at first. I also updated my version of Calibre, but that never caused problems before, so I’m at a loss. I’ve used Calibre for a while, and even after changing laptops, I never had issues like this. My use of Calibre is pretty surface-level. Can someone with more knowledge help me figure out where I went wrong? I'm at my wit's end. I apologize for rambling and any mistakes in the post. English isn't my first language, and I am operating on 4 hours of sleep and far too much coffee.* |
