Plain and simple: No.
The BIOS must support it.
If it doesn't you are out of luck.

  • Also some mainboards won't show an option for AHCI since it's somehow always activated (has been the case for an Asus one I used).

Gigabyte released a new utility that allows you to change the mode of the chipset SATA controller between IDE, AHCI, and RAID (if available), from within Windows.

For now on, who have Gigabyte MB have this possibility as well.

Try to add an admin password to your bios, reboot, enter bios and enter password.

It's weird, I know, but some bios works this way. You should be able to access some more sections.

If not, then do a bios upgrade. If it still doesn't have that option, then you are out of luck.
