I put a WD 40 gig IDE into sig comp to hold some back up files. After installing it it shows up as drive (D: ) 37.2 GB and drive (E: ) 23.5 MB. I've used this drive in other comps befor but it has only showed up as one drive. Why did it add the second drive letter and have 23.5 MB on it?

Maybe it's a partition that was created on the disk a long time ago. You can delete the partition using Windows Disk Management (make sure you back up all the data on this smaller, secondary partition), and the expand your main 37.2GB partition into the 23.5MB partition and it should all be one drive letter.
