One of the things I do a couple of times a year is rebuild my PC. In this case I went from Windows 7 beta to Windows 7. The problem is when I re-install iTunes it creates a new library and wants to re-import all of the content. Unfortunately that doesn't play nice with syncing the iPhone! The solution that Apple doesn't make obvious is to tell iTunes on startup to use a different library. In this case, the library I had before re-installing Windows 7.
All I did to do this was to restore the iTunes library files and then when clicking on the iTunes icon, I hold down the SHIFT key. This will then prompt to create a new library or load an existing library. I point iTunes to my pre-existing library, and wha-la, I'm back up and running!
Here is a link to Apple's iTunes libary. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
