Clone determines change drive letters

Thread needs solution

Hello
I made a clone hard drive with Acronis True Image 2010 and it worked, but I found myself with the letters changed in one unit:
the original disk was partitioned as C and D, and later became C and F.
Similarly, the two writers have changed their letters E and F to D and E.
This resulted in an update of Windows, which fortunately has agreed, because I recognized the system as the original.
The procedure was performed with the Acronis Recovery CD Menagerie.
I must point out that the clone was performed on a different disk:
was originally on a hard drive Seagate Barracuda, while the clone on a Western Digital Blak, but both the 500 GB.
Wonder if you bypassed this small incident, or if you know of a better procedure to overcome this problem.
System Data:
Professional 32-bit Windows 7
Hard Disk-500GB partitioned into C (120 GB) as a system, and D (380 GB) for data
Mainboard Asus P7P55D Evo
Intel i5-750
4 Giga Ram
I apologize for the translation is not precisely correct.

Drive letters may be reassigned by Windows when it boots if it detects changes and can't match up the previous assignments. This is normal. Just use Disk Management to change the drive letters back to what you want.

Windows activation was probably triggered by the physical drive change, not the drive letters changing. This is also normal. (Note that this doesn't always happen. It depends on how many hardware changes were made to the system since the last activation.)
