My iMac‘s hard drive crashed, I replaced it, reinstalled LR Classic CC and need to find my catalog files. Just hoping they weren’t residing on the crashed HD.

Thank you

    Did you backup your original iMac hard drive to an external drive?

    If not then your catalog and any other files that were on that drive are gone.

    If you still have that drive, physically retained that drive, you may be able to retrieve some of it.

    Don't you have backups? (If not, why not?)

    You can have your operating system search for any files whose name ends with .LRCAT
