Ahh. The light goes on.

MSCS Clustering does not differentiate partitions, only physical disks as
disk resources. Thus, the quorum resource group owns the entire physical
disk, not just the quorum partition. Enterprise Edition setup should allow
an 'Advanced Options..' choice that brings up the Clustered SQL maintenance
options.

Thanks for the links, yes I did try to created a new virtual server and it
would not show the storage drive for me to select, it would only show the
quorom drive, but I can see the storage drive in my computer, also the
storage drive and the quorom are on the same disk just different
partitions.
I have tried un-installing but no success, when I run setup it ask for the
virtual server I put in the one that I created and it gives me an error
that
virtual server already exist, I will try the manual un-install.
Thanks for the timely posts.
