I bought the very first iPhone (2G) in February 2008.  Somehow I fugured out how to  to move media files between iPhone and PC.  It was clumsy and awkward.  It was a torture and menace.

To start you need iTunes installed somewhere on a disposable instance of Windows operating system.…

I found  a clear and clean way to do this task.  I will also use the same technique to move any Microsoft operating system from a Single drive to a RAID machine.  And this also works great, if you simply switching your PC controller from IDE to…
