You were good until the last sentence.

You cannot share resources, including disk resources, between instances.
You get one instance per "Service or Application".

For a second instance, you will need new disks, a new network name, and a
new IP address.

I have a SQL cluster running and would like to add an instance. What is the procedure? I have different disks available for the new instance.

New Named SQL Server 2008 Instance in existing Cluster - HowTo?
How do we add a new Named Instance under Services and Applications for the
existing SQL 2008 Cluster? We have the default MSSQLServer installed and
working OK.

We want to share the same data disk's for both Instances. Is this possible?

Simply run the SQL installer again and create a new clustered SQL Instance.
Note that the new instance will also need a new, unique IP address and a
network name in addition to the disk resource. It works exactly the same as
the first time, except shared components are already installed and will be
skipped this time around.

I am assuming the disks are already set up as clustered disks. If not, you
need to do that first so they are in the Available Storage group.
