Just do a regedit dump
You can export the entire thing to a text file, then redo it if it fucks up.

As for allocating a drive letter, right click on 'Computer', go to 'Manage', then the options you need are under 'Disk Management'

Tried the disk management stuff - it won't let me initialise the drive.

That doesn't sound good at all, I applaud your appealing to someone else to do it.
What does it show up as in Disk Management?

Does it mention the file system?

Can't remember & can't face connecting it all again now.

Alright, just thinking that if it doesn't recognise the file system, that could be a reason for it to not allocate a letter
