I am using Qimage Ultimate v2020.109.

My boot hard drive crashed last year and I had to reload Qimage on the new boot hard drive. My lightroom photos were all on a separate hard drive and I was able to recover them. When I reloaded Qimage it did not find any of the old Qimage files, I do not know if they were on the boot drive or the "photo" drive. I would assume I used the default location. Is there a way to perform a search to see if they were on the photo/data drive or is the default location where ever the Qimage program is located?

When Qimage installs, fresh and new on a new hard drive, , the default location for data storage is as shown in screen snaps It does afford the opportunity for the user to choose a different location.  When upgrading to the latest version, Qimage will retain the data files.
So it sounds like you installed to a blank drive which did not have the current data files unless you redirected the location to a different place.
