I had to re-download itunes for my computer, how do I keep the songs that I did not buy from itunes?

I had redownload itunes because I had to get a new harddrive for my computer. Some of the songs from my ipod are not purchased from itunes. They are from cds and songs I have downloaded from the computer. How do I keep those from being erased when I sync my ipod onto itunes?

iPod classic, Windows 7

Ideally you should restore your library from a recent backup - hard drives fail, usually without warning, so you should always maintain a backup of all data that you value. Otherwise, see turingtest2's user tip on Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
