Hi, are you sure your HDD that you intend to use supports NCQ? if not I don't think you can't use AHCI option.
Every drive I've tried to use AHCI on has failed if it does not support NCQ, whereas all NCQ drives I have used did allow me to set AHCI as the option in BIOS.
I've tried to confirm this observation, but have never found anything that 100% agrees or disagrees with it.
