How to recover deleted blocks in Onenote?

How to recover deleted blocks in Onenote? I tried on OneDrive, I see they are there, but I can't download.

Hi hansleroy
Yes, I looked there. There's nothing. It is clean.
This happened a week ago, after the HD had problems and had to replace it with a new one. Perhaps that can guide you better.

Thanks!

I looked there, nothing of the subject. In your answer, I can't find Choose File> Info> Open Backups.

Hirenatosilva ,

No idea where that File> Info> Open Backups comes from - not from me.

From here, I'd open a CMD prompt, go to the drive with the backups and issue

dir *.one /s

Or else, do a search for

*.one

in Windows Explorer.

Kind regards

Hans

Hi hansleroy

After CMD, look at what happened. I think the two blocks I'm looking for are missing, IUESO *** and IFG ***. What do you think?After CMD

And also; HOW did you create that backup?

  Hi hansleroy
  
  A friend (coach) did it for me. You partitioned the hard drive into C \: and F \ :, on which is the entire backup. He returned the old hard drive, but I don't know if it works anymore.
  
  Thanks!

    Hi,
    Ask your friend (coach).
    a backup can be done by a straight copy, in which case you have the files in the original state.
    In all other cases, the backup has to be restored or files have to been extracted. But it is vital to know how the backup is done.
    Kind regards
