  • That's a filesystem error on whatever F: is. That's entirely outside of Zotero and not something we can help with. You'll need to repair that disk.

    As an immediate workaround, you can copy the rest of the data directory to that default location on the C: drive and then copy the most recent automatic backup, zotero.sqlite.bak, into the new data directory as zotero.sqlite. Zotero will use whatever file is named zotero.sqlite when it starts up.
