Yes, Thank you. I was successful in doing this.

Thanks you all very much.

I failed to mention that I cannot create the maintenance plan so I can't just restore the database to the standby and keep going,

Thanks everyone.

I looked and the resources are online.

I will have to look at that. Right now the Windows SA's are looking at the server. I had this problem before and I don't remember what I...

Right now all I am trying to do is install on the C drive and it still doesn't work. I usually point the data files to the D: drive...

Yes they are. The D: drive is the clustered drive.
