Your experience is typical. I was able to enable AHCI on a couple of my computers, but it took a lot of fiddling. Just about every computer has 2 or 3 hard drive controllers. I moved the boot drive to the first controller and enabled AHCI on the 2nd controller. The AHCI driver may be needed at this time. I cloned the boot drive to a hard drive on the 2nd controller, which then became the the AHCI boot drive. This operation could involve the use of both IDE and SATA drives. Most people won't have this much patience. AHCI will definitely be beneficial for a SSD.
