See https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#restoring_your_zotero_data_from_a_backup and then tell us what exactly you tried -- you don't need a storage folder in the target computer to restore your data: you just need to replace the empty data folder on your new computer with the old, restored one as described there.
Note that the data folder is _not_ your storage folder but the files and folders (including storage) in the folder that contains storage on your old computer.
