Hi

I have installed SQL 2000 on a server 2003 cluster. The 2003 servers are
able to access all the shared drives fine and I have tested reading and
writing from both nodes. However when I install SQL 2000 I am only able to
see 1 drive from within SQL. This is a problem as I want to split the DB
and
Logs onto different drives.

Help please

Add the other drive(s) to the SQL Server Resource as a dependency.

Cheers,

Have done that although it was not like that when SQL was first installed. I
have since uninstalled SQL and then re installed into the same group as the
drives but it still only sees the one disk. Could this be due to their being
things left behind after the first uninstall? If so any clues as to how to
do a complete uninstall of SQL?

Thanks in advance
