Why ATIH don't assign the letters after restore?

You did a restore and afterwards your drive(s) had no assigned drive letter? At a minimum, Win should have assigned letters when you booted with the restored drive present.

Diff operating systems will assign drive letters differently; it's not a fixed thing. But after a restore you should see the same drive letter as before, assuming you install ed the target drive in the same place as the drive that was the original source of the backup.

Yes, all data restored.
ATIH offer to restart, i agree, and PC restarting, i don't remove drive while PC started.
P.S. i backup from one UFD and restore to another UFD

Hello,

Let me comment this situation.

Our product is responsible for drive letters assignment, but in some cases this operation cannot be performed due to conflict with other devices. This is not a problem at all, since you can easily assign the letter to any volume detected by your system, by using Disk Management snap-in. Here are the instructions:

Follow to Start->Run->diskmgmt.msc then check the list of the drives attached to your system and determine the flash drive without assigned letter by its capacity. Then right click on volume -> Change Drive Letters and Paths -> select a letter to assign and proceed through wizard.

Additionally to this, you are welcome to ask me any other questions concerning Acronis, and I will assist you further.

Thank you.
