Can't see all drives in a cluster within Enterprise manager

When I am in Enterprise Manager to create a new database, I click on the location of the data and log file, I only see 1 drive where SQL Server was installed...How do I get SQL Server to display all the other drives the node owns in the cluster? I can view them under My Computer and within the Cluster Administrator. Each node owns it's own drives. But I should be able to see all drives owned by the node when browsing to create a new database so I can assign different drives for the Data and Log files.
Any ideas would be helpful
Thanks
WarrenPerhaps you have to restart SQL Server?

Warren|||Dear Tibor,
Same result. Still can't see all the drives?|||Sorry, that was just a wild guess...
Re-reading your original post, you say that you only see the drive where SQL Server was installed.
Do you mean the local drive? That would imply, methinks, that you didn't install the SQL Server as a
clustered SQL Server. SQL Server should not show the local drives when creating databases etc, it
should only show the "shared" drives.

You have to take one node off-line and add dependencies (IE. the other drives) to the SQl Server , bring that node back on-line and repeat for the other node. This should be your last step then, re-test failover and moving the cluster between nodes
Whew

Can't see all drives in a cluster within Enterprise manager

When I am in Enterprise Manager to create a new database, I click on the loc
ation of the data and log file, I only see 1 drive where SQL Server was inst
alled...How do I get SQL Server to display all the other drives the node own
s in the cluster? I can vi
ew them under My Computer and within the Cluster Administrator. Each node o
wns it's own drives. But I should be able to see all drives owned by the no
de when browsing to create a new database so I can assign different drives f
or the Data and Log files..
Any ideas would be helpful,
