I have a drive with raw and jpg files strewn all over it in many

find all the files and allow them to be placed in a single location
for ease of backup?

Any operating system I know of has build-in tools that allow do to that
as a standard operation. Unfortunately you are not telling us which OS
you are using.

Windows XP has "Search", and you can search for all files ending in
".jpg" (or anything else). You can then block highlight and move
those files to one folder.

One minor point: by default XP has "Hide extensions for known file types"
turned on. This will not stop Windows Search from finding ".jpg" files,
etc, but it can make life more difficult when manually browsing with My
Computer or Windows Explorer. This setting can be turned off via Tools
Folder Options... View tab.

Nonsense. Hide Extensions has no effect on Search.
