Re sync iPad / iPhone

Due to assorted probs, was forced to erase my entire hard drive and reinstall everything. When I tried syncing both my iPhone 3G) and iPad (2), message said contents were already on another computer and couldn't be on two. Obviously reinstall makes my Dell XPS 8000, running Windows 7, 64 bit, look different. How do I get back to my iTunes library and resync?


Thanks

Dell XPS 8000, Windows 7, Apple Airport Extreme

I downloaded from the Dell DataSafe a multiGig file with I believe all my music in it. Is there a way to put it back in my iTunes library so I can resync t he whole again regularly as I used to?

You simply need to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from this datasafe backup to /Music/ and everything will work fine.

While I could have sworn ( no really) that I saw all my music downloaded from Dell DataSafe, I can't pull it up right now. I am re-downloading that file from them to a new desktop folder. Once I have that ( about 7 Gigs and took about 5 HRS)How can I put all that back in my iTunes library?

again, thanks for your help.
