Why aren't you using the 'Add folder to library' dialogue?

However, you said 50 CDs and some camcorder footage - is the iPod the ONLY place where you have the footage? If you have it elsewhere (still on the camcorder or tapes therefrom), you can import it into iTunes again.

Likewise, the CDs may take a while, but can still be done as long as you still have the CDs

Podcasts - it SHOULD be possible to drag them from the Podcast folder within the Music folder to the Podcast folder under the new iTunes folder structure

Footnote; I don't have anything on my iPod that I can't get from somewhere else. Likewise with iTunes. Anything that comes in as a podcast gets copied and saved elsewhere if I want to keep it. CDs are still in the collection and can be re-loaded to iTunes. Other music in mp3 folders elsewhere on the PC. etc etc

Tried adding folder to library , but did not work.all my camcorder footage was on my SD card ( used in camcoeder) but deleted after added to itunes.
Did not get chance to back up my files as my laptop just crashed.Only had stuff from my MP4 saved , but not the most recent photos ( ie the last 3 or 4 months)
Will definately get a portable hard drive and back up stuff after all this though.

Can you maybe recover the files with recuva (https://www.piriform.com/recuva) or something? Although I'm not quite sure reformatting does...
