Insert the Windows 8 DVD or 8.1 USB.
Restart the computer.
Press any key to boot from the media.
Click Repair your computer or press R.
Select Troubleshoot.
Select Command Prompt.
Type diskpart.
Press Enter.

check your mobo boot priority, by right it will auto read boot disc/usb

this is your question:

(unable to boot after changing controller back to ahci)

- Go into BIOS at restart and change to AHCI and move the Boot from DVD option ahead of the Boot from HDD option

- System should go to a recovery screen generated from the DVD

- Press the correct option to run Refresh

- When refresh is complete, your system should be booting with AHCI

To resolve this issue yourself, enable the AHCI driver in the registry before you change the SATA mode of the boot drive. To do this, follow these steps:
Exit all Windows-based programs.
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
Locate and then click one of the following registry subkeys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\IastorV
In the pane on the right side, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify.
In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.
