SQL 2k5 Cluster install issue.

Error: SQL Server Setup cannot write to removable media. To continue, specify a directory on a hard disk attached to the computer where SQL Server will be installed.

Getting error on setup, it thinks my cluster drive is removable media? Don't know why, not much on the web at this time.

Environment:
Servers(3) - Windows 2003 Enterprise SP2 x64.
SQL 2K5 Enterprise Edition.

How far along in the install does it get? What's in the install log?

I could shoot myself in the head after shooting myself in the foot.

I logged on with a user account that had a drive mapping to H: drive (home directory). I was trying to load SQL on the local H: drive (share resource drive) but it didn't exists in explorer. Disconnected the mapped drive and the local H: drive appeared, yes I was able to install... It's the little ones that get you sometimes.
