This is a wild ass guess. When this has happened to me it was because RAID ON AKA Rapid Store was turned on. For a Pc with a single drive RAID offers no benefits at all. Ventoy and most other applications lack support for it to, so if you boot an ISO, they will not see the drives either.
Changing it back to AHCI requires some finagling. I've done it dozens of times as Dell started shipping PCs and laptops with it ON by default and I was unaware of it. I had deployed dozens of computers with it enabled, and I could not see the drives from an of my utilities or for Windows installs either.
