I see you wrote the above a while ago, have you managed to get back into the bios?
If not try resetting your bios by removing the battery for a minute or so. 30 seconds is usually long enough but a minute is a definite.
Hopefully your bios will default to ide.
I think in your case you may have to reinstall windows after enabling ahci which I know your not happy about doing. Hopefully the bios reset will get you back to square one.
(just make sure the bios time is set correctly after the interruption.
