SQL 2012 installation for Failover Cluster failed

Question

While installation of SQL 2012 on FOC validation fails on "Database Engine configuration" page with following error:
The volume that contains SQL Server data directory g:\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA does not belong to the cluster group.
Want to know how does SQL installation wizard queries volumes configured with Failover Cluster. does it:
- Enumerate "Physical Disk" resources in FOC
- does it enumerate all Storage Class resources in FOC for getting the volume list
- or it depends on WMI (Win32_Volume) to get volumes ?
The wizard correctly discovers volume g:\ in its FOC group on "Cluster Resource Group" and "Cluster Disk Selection" page. but gives the error on Database configuration page.
Any help in this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Can you please check if there is any disk in the cluster which is not in online state? Please run below script following the steps.
1. Save a script as "Disk.vbs" and use
use CSCRIPT to run it.
2. Syntax: CSCRIPT <Disk.vbs> <Windows Cluster Name>
< Script>
Option Explicit
Public objArgs, objCluster
Public Function Connect()
' Opens a global cluster object. Using Windows Script Host syntax,
' the cluster name or "" must be passed as the first argument.
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
if objArgs.Count=0  then
 wscript.Echo "Usage Cscript  <script file name>  <Windows Cluster Name> "
 WScript.Quit
end IF
Set objCluster = CreateObject("MSCluster.Cluster")
objCluster.Open objArgs(0)
End Function
Public Function Disconnect()
' Dereferences global objects.  Used with Connect.
 Set objCluster = Nothing
 Set objArgs = Nothing
End Function
Connect
Dim objEnum
For Each objEnum in objCluster.Resources
 If objEnum.ClassInfo = 1 Then
  WScript.Echo ObjEnum.Name
  Dim objDisk
  Dim objPartition
  On Error Resume Next
   Set objDisk = objEnum.Disk
   If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    WScript.Echo "Unable to retrieve the disk: " & Err
   Else
    For Each objPartition in objDisk.Partitions
     WScript.Echo objPartition.DeviceName
    Next
   End If
 End If
Next
Disconnect
</Script>
