Cause
When the disk you are trying to add is not NTFS formatted and is still in RAW format this issue will happen.
Resolution
Go to Disk Management --> Select your Quorum Disk, Take it online --> Initialise --> Format it with NTFS File system.
Once you do this you should be able to get the quorum disk added using PowerShell.
