Is this a newly created cluster? If so did you add the shared drive as a resource in cluster administrator? If so did you make sure both nodes were listed as possible owners?

If this is not a new cluster, did it ever work?

If it used to work, when did it stop working? Can you pinpoint any changes made before it stopped working?

A little more detail if you please :-)
