kobo isn't recognized

[randallp66]

My daughter recently updated the firmware for her kobo. It no longer is recognized by calibre. Windows 7 "sees" the device, as does adobe digital additions (I can add books to the kobo, but they do not show up on the device when I disconnect. I have both reset and restored the device, to no avail. This is the error message I get from calibre (7.43). Any suggestions? rlariviere@…

Run calibre in debug mode by clicking the arrow next to preferences and post the debug log when you try to connect to your Kobo.

Database Error?: database disk image is malformed

This means thathe database is believed to be damaged. You will need to do a disk check on windows or recreate your database. The instructions on on mobile read

@tim: Yuo might want to trap this error and raise a more useful exception with instructions on what to do so you don't have to keep dealing with these tickets.

@kovid: Yeah, I am planning to add additional debug statements around the database connections also. I keep looking for something that could be causing it but so far to no avail.
