Will:

The proper order (order for best results) would be...

Install your HBA drivers or update them, where necessary.
Install MPIO (Basic for EVA 3 or 5k and Full Featured for 4/6/8k)
Reboot.
Present disks or at the very minimum, 1 1GB Vdisk for the quorum disk.
Build the cluster.

You need a quorum drive to build a Windows cluster so you have to present at least 1 disk beforehand. You can present more later on.
