My hard drive failed and I no longer have the original files to my imports in LRC. I've tried to extract previews, but I dont have them either. I can't find anything on the internet that has been helpful. I even backup my catalogs each week but going to those folders hasnt helped. What do I do?

I'm afraid there is nothing you can do. The catalog does not contain the images, just information and metadata, so if you do not have the images anymore and also no previews, then that is the end of the line. Didn't you make Time Machine backups of that failed hard drive?
