I take it you configured wireless or direct ethernet. I think the USB is just for future use (or maybe they use it to repair).
If you look at the iTunes screen on your laptop, it should tell you at the top what song X out of Y is syncing and how far along it is (if memory serves). I just set it up at the end of a day, let it sync overnight, woke up and I was in business. But, that was 33GB worth.
Oh yeah, one other thing, you won't get the full 160 available for songs. There's OS partition overhead in there. How much total do you have available out of 160?
