This has been discussed many times in this forum, and is documented as well, see

Inside windows setup (please refer to below screenshoot) i can see "Drive 2 Partition 1" (350GB), but i got this error " Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu"
I can't see LUN at BIOS level.
I can see partition at Windows Setup.
I follow all of the step mentioned in "http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/os-install-guides/windows/b_B-Series_Windows_Install/BSERIES-WINDOWS_chapter_011.html"

Once you've loaded the ucs storage drivers, and the single-path drive has been detected, make sure you un-map the ucs driver bundle and re-map the windows .iso . I was seeing the same error until i did this, and had forgotten what the solution was.

I have followed the step mentioned in "http://jeffsaidso.com/2012/02/ucs-boot-from-san-troubleshooting-with-the-cisco-vic-part-2/" but still don't solve my issue.

Create a new lun and try again ! was there something installed on this lun before ?
As a quick test, I would try to install ESXi on this lun; this would at least verify that zoning, and lun mapping / masking is ok.
BTW. I assume you have installed enic / fnic driver according to the interop matrix ?
