[iPad] Restoring iPad files after computer failed

 

 
My computer died yesterday and I had to get a new one.  I have an iPad and an iPod that I synced to the old computer.  I do have a back up hard drive, last backed up in January.  Ideally I would like to keep the way my iPad is right now.  I know I have read this problem before, but did not save the answer   Is there a way to plug my iPad into my new computer and not lose all the information.  I had XP now have Windoes 7 and haven't figured out how to move my back file to the new computer.
 
Help appreciated.
