getting an error:

Cannot use file ‘E:\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks2008R2_Data.mdf’ for clustered server. Only formatted files on which the cluster resource of the server has a dependency can be used. Either the disk resource containing the file is not present in the cluster group or the cluster resource of the Sql Server does not have a dependency on it.

Please help.

You just forgot to mention the important point here that not to install CTP version to the productive environment. It is not at all recommended by Microsoft. The best option is either to use the Test system or Virtual machine.

Hi Pinal,
Yes Denali SSMS looks more like Visual Studio, which has led to some features not working as expected compared with the SQL Server 2008 SSMS. Look at this blog by aaron_bertrand SQL Server MVP.
