Can anyone help me with OneNote?

[georgeoshardo]

I recently formatted my hard drive and I've re-installed Office, all my OneNote notebooks are synced to the cloud. I opened OneNote, newly installed, and signed into my Skydrive account but nothing syncs, nothing downloads from the server, so I have no notebooks. Opening Skydrive in a browser and downloading the notebooks doesn't sync them with the same copy on the remote server, and putting the notebooks in the appdata and My Documents location won't do anything either. I'm really at a loss here and any help would really be appreciated. Thanks :)

After you downloaded them to you computer did you try going to "OneNote->File->Open Backup" and selecting the files downloaded?
