Migrating stand-alone SQL server to cluster



I have a Windows 2003 Enterprise Ed. server running SQL 2000 Enterprise Ed.
with SCSI attached storage. I have a new server (identical hardware), HP
fiber switches, etc to build a SAN config with the existing storage. I can
build the SAN portion fine, but I don't know how to transition the live SQL
server to a clustered config. Can I install the new server as a stand alone
cluster with SQL installed, then somehow tie the two together? I don't know
where to start. I've found a lot of info on building SQL clusters as a new
installation, but nothing that addresses this specific scenario. Any ideas
or help would be appreciated.
