My work computer crashed (CPU failure) however the harddrive & data is fine.

I have put the HDD in my personal computer and I really need the data that was in my Thunderbird/Lightning Calendar. Thunderbird verson 45.8.0 & Lightning version 4.7.8.

I have looked at various resources online to pull it across, but to no avail. I have found the AppData and SQLITE files that sit in "calendar-data" but I'm unsure of how to pull this through to a newly installed Thunderbird/Lightning. When I do try to "import data" for the Calendar, it only searches for '.ics' files or '.csv'.

Is there anyway that I can import this calendar data from the work HDD into a fresh install of Thunderbird/Lightning on my personal computer? If so, how?

You can copy the old profile over the new one with for the fresh installation of Thunderbird. See kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird#Create_a_new_profile_and_copy_the_old_one_over_it

With the fresh installation, if you started Thunderbird at least once, a ne profile has already been created, so you wouldn't have to create one again manually. Therefore you can start with step 4 in the instructions linked above: "Delete the contents of the new profile ..."
