I want to add music to my iPhone from my "NEW" iTunes library (previous library was lost on failed hard drive). But iTunes won't add music without erasing existing music already on the iPhone. How can I add music without erasing already loaded content?

You won't be able to. The iPhone can only be synced to a single library. Once you try to sync to something else, it will erase the old. If all of your music is in the new library, it won't really matter, since you would be able to sync it all back, however, it will still erase it first.
