shared disks problem while RAC setup?

546111Feb 25 2009
Host OS:Windows Vista
Guest OS for Virtual Machine1:OEL5
Guest OS for Virtual Machine2:OEL5
Database Version:10.2.0.1
Clusterware version:10.2.0.1
During installation of clusterware i am getting the following error.
the location /dev/sdb1,entered for the oracle cluster registry(OCR) is not shared across all the nodes in the cluster.
I am using RAW devices to store OCR,Voting Disk and Database files using ASM.

my rac1.vmx contents are as follows

Can any one help what i am missing.Any help is highly appreciated?
I have followed the below link for my configuration
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR1RACInstallationOnOEL5UsingVMware.php
I followed each and every step of that document.still i am getting the error?
