iPod question

[ipod dummy]

Love my iPod and had almost 10 days worth of songs...all from my CD collection not downloaded...I recently had to readload my computer and lost my iTunes collection. Then lost all my songs off my iPod by pressing the wrong button when I connected my iPod to my computer again...imagine my annoyance when I realised I had to reload all the music again.

I now need to reload my computer and am concerned that I'll loose all my music again...I've lost my manual and not sure what to do...I realised I can save it to my d drive in my music file and copy it back but is there an easy way by just downloading from my iPod when I re-connect?

Also if I borrow a friends iPod how can I copy their songs to my iPod without loosing everything?
