[Windows 7] 如何在 Windows 7 上安装 Loopback Adapter
如何在 Windows 7 上安装 Loopback Adapter（微软回环网卡）
Microsoft Loopback Adapter （微软回环网卡）类似一个虚拟网卡，能够被安装在一个没有网卡或者要用于测试多个宿主环境的 Windows 上。相信不少 ITPro 对此是相当熟悉的。但是在 Widnows 7 上按照往常的方法使用添加硬件向导并不能继续之后的手工安装设备的步骤，如下图所示：
难道 Widnows 7 不再支持 Loopback Adapter 或手工添加设备的方式么？其实不然，我们可以通过“hdwwiz.exe”命令来手工添加设备或驱动。为此我们需要执行以下的步骤：
- 单击开始图标，在智能搜索中输入“hdwwiz”，在搜索结果中鼠标右键单击该程序，使用“以管理员身份运行”方式来启动；
- 根据操作系统向导，选择“安装我手动从列表选择的硬件（高级）”。
- 在硬件列表中，选择“网络适配器”。
- 选择“Microsoft”厂商，并在右边网络适配器列表中选中“Microsoft Loopback Adapter”，下一步按照向导完成安装。
[Windows 7] 再议 VHD with Native Boot
再议 VHD with Native Boot
在开始之前，我们先通过下面列表中的链接回顾一下 gOxiA 对 VHD with Native Boot 的测试历程。总体来讲，Native Boot 部署起来还是非常之简单的，只不过由于是微软全新开发的技术，所以中文资料是少之甚少，也就导致我们部署起来或多或少会遇到一些阻碍！
- Native Boot 从一个 VHD 引导系统的相关说明
- Step by Step VHD with Native Boot
- 在实体机中使用 Native Boot 从 VHD 引导 Windows Server 2008 R2 Beta x64
距离今天最近的一篇 Native Boot 相关日志中，gOxiA 曾提到有关引导 VHD 中的 Windows 7 的故障！当我创建的虚拟磁盘（VHD）文件为动态扩展类型时可能会导致引导失败，经过后来的测试终于找到了原因！不论该 VHD 类型是动态扩展还是固定的，其最大容量设置值应当小于实际磁盘分区（卷）的容量。比如我当前卷的可用容量是40G，那么在该卷上创建的 VHD 的容量则必须小于40G。至此也化解了 gOxiA 之前的假设，得出结论：“VHD with Native Boot 支持动态扩展和固定类型的 VHD，而导致动态扩展类型的 VHD 引导失败的原因则是该 VHD 的容量被设置为大于实际磁盘的容量”。
