installed. This is true for all storage types. Use the following procedure to restore the
loop-back adapter:

Add Hardware and then click Next.
2. Click
Yes, I have already connected the hardware, and then click Next.
3. At the bottom of the list, click
Add a new hardware device, and then click Next.

8. Click
Next, then Finish.
9. In Control Panel, go to

adapter. Right-click on this icon and rename the connection to
Loopback.
11.Right-click on the Loopback icon and select
