OneNote 2007 Lost Notebook

[Andina]

Hi
I recently downloaded a trial version of OneNote2007 and have got very
familiar with using it.
This morning I created a new notebook. This evening I had to use Norton
GoBack to restore my computer to a time last night and the new notebook has
completely vanished - with a days work - I have looked everywhere including
within the OneNote file folder on my computer - but nothing at all - pls
advise what to do!

Look in Windows Explorer under either:

c:\documents and settings\{yourname}\My Documents\OneNote Notebooks
If you're running Windows XP

or

c:\Users\{yourname}\Documents\OneNote Notebooks
If you're running Vista

and see if a folder exists with the same name as the NOtebook that is
missing. If that folder exists, right-click on it and select "OPen as
Notebook in OneNote" from the context menu.

Alternatively, you can a new Notebook with the same name as the missing one
and select File | Open Backup and open up the missing Section files which
were in the Notebook.

In the future make sure to store backups of your files in an area which
is not touched by GoBack and make a backup prior to running GoBack.

IMO GoBack is not the optimum if it comes to restoring the system.
The "system restore" feature of Windows is the safer way as it does not
touch data files.
