HI,
I have been given 90 gigs of files captured on a FCP 6 suite,
and I only have the final cut express HD on my laptopas I normally edit with Premiere pro
my laptop does not see the video only the audio, and tells me i dont have the correct coded to play the file,
any idea what codec FCP6 uses ?

Open the file in the Quicktime player and see exactly what it says and report back. Most likely the material was captured using a codec that’s not available in FCE.
All the best,
Tom

Like Tom said check what codec they are using via quick time.

There are a lot of them.
I know your not going to like this but you are ether going to need to get FCP or you will have to have the video ether recaptured are converted into one of the 2 codecs that FCE can use. DV or Apple Intermediate codec.
There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!
