Do I have to delete all of my songs on my iPod to add more?

I had to restore my laptop to get rid of a virus and it deleted my iTunes library. So when I tried to put more songs up there it said I had to delete all of my songs that are already on my iPod besides the ones purchased through iTunes. Is there a way I can keep the songs already on there?
Also another question. My laptop still wont work so i have it always on Safe Mode w/ Networking and it says I cant use my iPod on iTunes at that moment. But it does it all the time. Any way I can use it?
Any help or suggestions will help. Thanks!

"so the songs are only on the iPod now."
Not good at all.. You should always have a backup copy.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases.
You can try a forum search as this is asked and answered often.  There are some third party programs ( not supported by Apple) that you can try at your risk.
