If you have an updated back up of just 2 files (iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml) you don't need to import all songs again.

I back those 2 small files everytime I format the PC and never had a problem.
Just reinstall iTunes, substitute those 2 new files with the back up et voila, my 40GB library is there.
