Long story short my back in 2013 I got into bitcoin and had some stored in a wallet on my work machine. The hard drive got formatted, and I thought it was gone for good. Recently I found the machine unused, so I plugged it into my laptop and managed to recover the multibit directory which hopefully contains the data required.
I've installed Multibit Classic on my local machine and attempted to load the recovered multibit wallet, but I see the following errors:

The wallets are appearing in multibit classic, but they have 0 BTC and show no transactions. If I check out bitcoin address in blockchain.inifo I can see that it tracks 1 transaction, which was the recieving of my original bitcoin!
Can anyone please help me moving forward? I'd like to move the bitcoin into coinbase!
Thanks
