A few months back I sold my Iphone 3G because I was going to get 4 instead. Unfortunately my windows machine crashed and I was forced to reinstall from scratch. I now plan to (finally) purchase the new one and I want to restore from my old backup. I copied everything from My Music folder on the old HDD to a the new one and I also copied everything from:
Appdata\Roaming\Apple Computer to the new one. I though that would be enough but the backup is not showing up in Itunes.
What can I do? I lost the old HDD completely after this.

There is nothing you can do about it, if the HDD is really gone. If you don't have a backup of your old phone, then you just need to gather all the lost data from your memory.
Of course, if you still have the HDD, you could try and take it to a shop that restores data from broken drives, maybe you'll get lucky.
