I have 3 drives in my pc, 2 with windows. The main boot drive is a pcie drive. I booted into the main drive, walked away from my computer, and when I got back, the computer was in the other drive and the pc isn't recognizing the pcie drive. Is there still a way to pull the data off?

If the computer does not see the drive at all, that would indicate a fatal heart attack.
The possibility is high that data is still on the chips, but it isn't accessible via the computer.
If you can find a reasonable repair facility to fix the dead part, you may get the data back.
Extracting the data from the chips by a data recovery facility would be very pricey. If your data is worth that, you now have motivation to back it up.

Do you know of a location in South Florida that could try and retrieve the data?

Here's what I would probably do:
Check if the drive is recognised in BIOS, first. If so, then:
get a thumb drive, install Ventoy https://www.ventoy.net/ on it, add Hiren's Boot CD (HBCD) iso to the drive, insert it into computer and boot to the thumbdrive, then boot HBCD.
Now you will need somewhere to copy/backup the data to, have that prepared - another USB drive for e.g., plug that in and copy the data from the problem drive to the backup drive. HBCD has programs to help with this, e.g unstoppable copier is one I like, there are several already installed on there, if you don't use cmd/robocopy.
Hope that helps!
