There are two "critical" files in iTunes which contain all of the
current information about your iPod. They are:
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Music Library.xml
They are located (on a Windows XP computer) in the following directory
on your "core" drive which contains your Windows operating system (on
my PC notebook it is "C" drive):
C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
If you copy these two files, say to an USB "stick", from your "old"
computer, then copy them over the same files in your "new" computer
where you have already loaded iTunes (but not run it yet with your
iPod connected). These two files will "tell" iTunes program when you
run it with the iPod connected that all your songs, videos, etc. are
where they are supposed to be.
I have done this on two different notebooks I use, making sure the
latest files are in place on a particular computer (use the dates of
the files to tell you the latest) I'm syncing my iPod to, with no
problems of having any files on my iPod Video go astray.
