I just upgraded Win 7 to 64-bit, and have lost all the information in my Lightning calendar

I used PCMover to help with the upgrade (not perfect, but VERY good).

Thunderbird is now working, as is the Lightning calendar, but all the calendar content has gone.

Before the upgrade I made a copy of everything on my main hard disc, so the old information should be there somewhere. Can anyone point me to it, please?

Many thanks for any help.

I was misled on my original search for the data by some out of date information. I have now found it, and it all works.

In case anyone looks at this question, the relevant reply for me was

>>Location changed from Lightning 0.9 to Lightning 1.0b1. Now storage.sdb contains only information about the Lightning version and is required for compatibility reasons. The events and tasks from local calendars is stored in calendar-data/local.sqlite. Information about calendars like location and settings are stored in prefs.js.<<
