Hi everyone, i have successfully installed Catalina since last year (August 24th to be exact and it was the beta version), all updates went smoothly. I have to SSD one for MacOS and the other one for Windows. I also have two HDD for backup inside of the computer. Everything was working perfectly untill yesterday. I can no more see the HDDs on the MAC part. It boots normally with no issues, the only problem is that it doesnt show any of the HDD in it. I checked the windows and saw that they are all there and working fine, I also checked in the bios and they are also there. But when I look in Disk Utility I only see the SSD drives.
I did this so I can work and game on the same computer, now I can't work on the Mac anymore.

Please help, I have work to do and like a dumb I did not have any other backup of my work :'(

My specs:
i7 8700K
AMD SAPPHIRE 64
16gb DDR4 3200Mhz
Aorus Gaming Wifi Z270

iMac 5k 18,3

Say what the problem was. So if someone else have this problem to know the solution.
 
Okay. Just had to fix the bios settings. I did everything all over agin. AHCI vt-d disabling fast boot and secure boot etc. I dont understand why or how the settings in the bios changed but changing them again allowed me to boot normally again.
I took the opportunity to save the bios profile just in case that happens again.
