Failover Clusturing

Firstly i want to be sure if i understand correctly:
1) if i use failover clustring for 3 server when one of the server's software or webservice or sth. else if down other one will work is this right ?
2) Could i use HDD of servers for every one as a owner of hdd on clusturing ..
For Ex :
1) HDD 1 On Machine1
2) HDD 2 On Machine2
3) HDD 3 On Machine3
Do i able to see thee all 3 hdd on each computer as hdd owner ?
4) Is there any way to other resources like ram,cpu which has not a process
5) What is the difference between load balancing and clusturing ? As i know load balancing will split connections depending of the server's  usage. But clustruring will use all the machines as one ?
6) In the clustured network do all the computers must have windows enterprise or only one is enough?

Every question 83 Points :) Thanks for evey help

The  best option is just file sharing (maybe with DFS).
Making them visible as local devices is much harder and usually makes no sense. NTFS file system is not designed for simultaneous direct access and you have to use a lot of not really reliable tricks to make it all working. Of course you can try if you can risk loss of your data...
Look at http://rocketdivision.com/ for really great iSCSI solution.

                                 Publisher

Storage  Server1  Storage Server 2  Storage Server 3

in some cases storage servers has direct outputs in some cases publisher read files from storage servers do you have an advice for this there are two network card on servers and one of them for intranet one of them for internet
