Normally the installation should not time out because there are multiple
drives in the resource group. There is not a setting to prevent this. Setup
may have had trouble enumerating the drives which could have caused the
problem. If you kept the original sqlstp.log file from the setup tat
timeout we could look at where it failed and possibly determine what
happened.
