This could be several issues but may be very simple to resolve. One of the easiest ways to find out the problem is log on to the cluster node as the cluster service account, then from the <systemroot>\winnt\cluster directory do the following:

set cluster loglevel=3

then

net start clussvc /debug

from this you will find, normally an indication of the reason why (in more detail) the service is failing to start It could be permissions but it may not be that at all. When you get the /debug output, past the last 10 or so lines in a reply post and someone will direct you in the right direction.
