So you have a folder with the old library? Does it have a file "metadata.db" ?

Then you should start by opening that folder as a Calibre library to see what you have actually lost (probably you only need to install plugins and make some software wide settings, as the library settings are still in the old library folder "metadata.db"):
Click the library button in Calibre:
- Switch/Create library...
- New location (enter the path to the old ebook folder)
- set: "Use the previously existing library at the new location"
Done

Note: the count pages is a custom column so it should be in the old library, maybe you only have to install the plugin "Count Pages" to automate the count)
