Cluster SQL 2000 errorlog problem

We've recently installed a couple of Windows Server 2003 Ent Ed servers with
SQL 2000 Ent Ed and one of the active/active nodes continually gives the
error below in the Application Event log.
The NT user which was used to install the server and owns the directories
and files below has full rights so this should not be an issue.
I've checked MSDN, etc. but nothing which seems to help.
Thanks.

initerrlog: Could not open error log file 'D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\log\ERRORLOG'. Operating system error = 3(The system cannot find
the path specified.).
--Ron,
Is drive D local to the server or on the cluster's shared drives? The error
message could be implying that the node in question was installed with the
data files on a local drive.
Hope this helps,
Ron

I'll review the webcast...thanks!
SQL Server is installed on the C: drive, the data files are installed on D:
which is a SAN drive share.
I've rebooted both nodes and only started node1...with node2 offline, there
errors are not appearing in the event logs...? Seems odd as it's node1 which
is logging the errors...any other ideas?
Thanks.
