Possibly.  All my Intel ICH7 boards have AHCI capability, and I use it.
See Chapter 4 here:

http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/motherboard/3000/MNL-0889.pdf

If your motherboard does, I'd recommend enabling it as well and see if
things change.

Regarding the "Enhanced" vs. "Compatible" mode: use Enhanced.  On
my boards, choosing Enhanced makes the AHCI and Intel MatrixRAID
options appear.

I'm fairly certain you don't need AHCI to get SATA300, though.

I would recommend you re-check the jumpers on your disks to make sure
you didn't make a mistake when adjusting things.
