To start off, I'm not well versed with Bitcoin or Bitcoin core. I bought a computer at a thrift store and saw it had a Bitcoin QT. I went into the file explorer and found a wallet.dat file. I download Bitcoin core onto my current computer and downloaded the entire Blockchain. I created a new wallet and then deleted that wallet.dat file. While the program was closed I replaced it with the wallet that I found. When I start up Bitcoin core, I get a "wallet corrupted" message. Any recommendations? If I can access any BTC, I'll share with the most helpful peeps. Thanks!
Edit: It was a hard drive shoved into the back of the case, not the original drive of said computer, so I can't boot from that drive. However it has all installation files.
