I searched for this Error code and found nothing on this forum.  Is there a way to recover from this?  Thanks!

This OneNote section file appears to be corrupted. OneNote may be able to repair the file. Avoid adding content to this corrupted section. (Error code: 0xE0000140)

You can check for a backup of your section. Go to File > Info > Open Backups on the right side.

    Unfortunately I don't have the option of chucking Credant. I did some checking with other users here, and it seems this is a common problem here. 

    We suspect the problem may be caused if OneNote is not closed before an undock/sleep/hibernate event with Credant. Trying that next.

    Finally I got in touch with the right support people. My problem was caused by Credant Desktop Encryption. Have now changed to BitLocker.

    What is the cause of this error?

    I get this error repeatedly, about once a week. It happens when I start writing in OneNote, I get the  "This section is corrupted" message.

    I have used OneNote for a long time, on several computers. This problem only happens on my newest PC, a Dell M4600 laptop with SSD. It is very annoying.

    Can you check if the same opens on Skydrive.

    Same steps should work for Onenote 2010.
